I don’t know where you live, but the tax law I’m familiar with doesn’t care if the customer received a bill in the post or even if they recieved a bill at all. The critical thing is that all payments received within the tax period are declared.
You could still produce a copy of the bill for your records and even a receipt for the payment if it makes you feel better.
That’s such a great reaction to starting a fire in a closet full of priceless and flammable stuff! “Oops! I think I’ll just close the door on that problem and hope no one notices.”
I’m tempted to call it such a child’s reaction to a problem they don’t know how to solve. But I know I’m guilty of doing the same thing as an adult, just not with a potentially fatal raging closet fire fueled by a plastic coated wedding dress.
The more I think about it, the more in awe I become of what you managed to achieve.
