Cashing HMRC cheques in Australia

A colleague has dealt with tax returns to date of death for a late client living in Australia. The Australian professional executor tells us her bank won’t cash foreign cheques.

Obviously, this is her responsibility. Whilst I work for a Trust company, it will soon be under SRA regulation following our acquisition by a firm including a solicitors practice, so I can’t operate a banking facility without ignoring those rules.

Any suggestions?
