I have just received a letter saying that my company needs to pay a £40 or £60 annual data protection fee or I could be fined up to £4,000. Does anyone know if this is legit as I this is the first I have heard of it?

Thank you for asking that question and thanks to Marcon too for the response!

General rule of thumb, if you hold customer data, you need to pay for the license.
