Stamp Duty on MBNA card I don't have anymore?

[paperclip]

ì just got a letter from mbna looking for €40.

i paid off this card nearly a year ago, and was actualy in credit (80c)

i was sure the government got rid of this stupid tax, do i have to pay this?

i don't even have the card anymore.

Re: annual credit card fee, mbna

You should have paid the €40 on closing the account. The tax has not been abolished, but you only pay it once in any one year as long as you have only one account active at any point in time.

Did you write to MBNA telling them you were closing the account or did you merely cut up the card?

If the card has not been active, you may not be liable, but you should have formally closed the account with MBNA.
