Online tax help for home businesses

22/06/2009 send to a friend
If you’re just starting out in business, or thinking of doing so, the tax office (HMRC) has created a new online resource to help with the basics, such as National Insurance, record keeping and employing other people. Enterprise Nation in-house accountant, Alan Young, gives it the thumbs-up.
A useful start
There are 10 brief, bite sized videos, providing an overview of each topic, as well as a downloadable guide, entitled; "Giving your business the best start with tax".
It's not going to answer every question, and as usual, I would always suggest seeking specific business advice from an expert, however, it's a useful start for those wishing to answer a few of the more common questions.
