HMRC has launched a new online tax forum and dedicated webchat service for small businesses and the self-employed. This is part of the government’s business tax roadmap announced at Budget 2016. Following a pilot in March 2017, HMRC says the forum now has more than 1,000 registered users.
Commenting on the launch, the financial secretary to the Treasury, Mel Stride, said the new service will give the UK’s 5.4m small businesses ‘useful hints and tips – including how to complete tax returns, grow a business and trade outside the UK – so that they can continue to flourish’.
The forum does not deal with questions about taxpayers’ individual circumstances and any comments which include personal information will be deleted.
