I think that we may getting somewhere.That does look like a one-off £50 Civil Penalty for (deliberately) failing to comply with the rules.I see that there is a deduction for savings there (-£34.80 I think it is) - Did you not report your savings? or report them incorrectly?
None, or incorrect, reporting of relevant facts such as savings above £6K can lead to a £50 civil penalty being imposed.1 -
