Declaring Dividends and Interest by a Non-resident

Hi, my client was a resident of the UK in 2020 and lodged a return during that year. Since then he has been a tax resident of Australia. He recently received correspondence from the HMRC encouraging him to consider paying taxes on any Dividends and Interest he may have received in recent years. From what we can see he received some Ted Baker Dividends in 2020 £3.12. All his interest has been under a £ which I would not have thought needs to be declared. He wants to do the right thing though. Is it really worth completing paperwork for what I can see is minimal tax if any under the Joint Tax Treaty we have with the UK? Regards Steve
