HM Revenue
& Customs (HMRC) has made its online tax-help
presentations, or webinars, available round the clock.
Previously, customers had to register to watch the live webinars
at set times and dates.
The webinars cover many different topics, including:
Business expenses and capital allowances
First steps as an employer
The Construction Industry Scheme
Limited companies, an overview
How VAT works
Colin Ford, head of the project, said:
“The webinars allow businesses and the self-employed to access
this information in a lively, interesting format on any day of the
year, at any time, day or night.
“Some people find tax issues daunting, especially if they are
setting out in business. The webinars are one of the ways that
HMRC makes tax as hassle-free as possible. This library of advice
complements the guidance that is already available on the HMRC and
Business Link websites.”

PC need the following software to watch the webinars: Windows® 7,
