HMRC begins online advice seminars
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has begun a series of online presentations or webinars giving help on tax to businesses and the self employed.
The presentations last approximately 30 minutes. There are two types - live webinars on set dates, which allow a further 30 minutes for live Q&A; and pre-recorded webinars, available round the clock.
The webinars will cover many different topics, including:
Business expenses and capital allowances
First steps as an employer
The Construction Industry Scheme
Self Assessment online
Limited companies, an overview
How VAT works
The webinars allow businesses and the self-employed to participate in the live seminars and ask questions. These will then be available on the HMRC website to view. The pre-recorded series of webinars will be accessible to watch at any time of day or night.
