No i believe you only have to pay the £8.24

The £40.64 looks like your upfront line rental (full month) and the £32.40 looks like a pro-rata credit for the days you haven't used it. The £8.24 essentially is just the line rental for the days the handset and sim were used.

I don't normally get involved with billing however thats how i read it!!

Amount due is for usage charges only and you only need to pay £8.24.

Yes @Anonymous has it spot on. £8.24 is your bill which is just for the usage prior to your cancellation.
