HMRC have recently set up a new online forum and webchat facility to provide help for small businesses and the self employed. goo.gl/rwJTBx
It aims to provide guidance on starting in business, which legal structure to use, how to register and pay for taxes, and start-up finance, as well as helping with issues a growing business may face, such as expanding and taking on employees, buying and selling abroad, completing tax returns, working tax credit and child tax credit.
The forum aims to give general guidance, but is not able to provide answers to questions about individual circumstances. We can help with the specifics, so please do contact us where you need advice.
