So typical of HMRC's pass the buck mentality. The real problem is the ridiculous complexity of tax laws and the inability of HMRC to interact with the average taxpayer. Solve these problems first and recognise that registration will not rid us of the bad advisers.
Let's be honest HMRC is not fit for purpose as an organisation. MTD is just latest system design and implementation disaster that they have been responsible for. Drastic action is needed as they trying to cover up their incompetence.
I agree that the postal forwarding is not infallible but it would be helpful if HMRC worked on improved updating of addresses on their numerous databases. PAYE information doesn't seem to be used for this.
I know it's not directly relevant but after being retired for 5 years and despite my best efforts, I am still receiving mail for a few clients.
We all know that tax law is full of over complicated rules and should be simplified. Then you could make a better case for charging and chasing penalties.
But where can anyone justify taking such a small amount to a tribunal,what happened to good management and common sense?
Well done for pointing out the appalling state that HMRC under Harra are now in. I used to fill out the feedback but that's a joke.
Does the charter still exist because I doubt the vast majority of their staff and management have read it recently.
My answers
Another side to the question, can we be assured that HMRC staff that advise taxpayers are suitably qualified?

Has Harra ever actually tried the systems instead of believing staff that tell him what he wants to hear.
