HMRC Webinars

HMRC hosts really useful webinars - some recorded and some live -  and they cover most of the common themes encountered when starting or developing your business.

From HMRC:

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) offer a series of free online presentations or ‘webinars’ to give tax help to businesses and the self-employed.

There are two types of presentation each lasting 30 minutes:

Live presentation or ‘webinars’ - available on set dates and include a further 30 minutes for a live questions and answer session. They'll also be available to view from these pages after the event.
Pre-recorded webinars - available to view at a time to suit you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The webinars cover many different topics including:
  • business expenses and capital allowances
  • first steps as an employer
  • the Construction Industry Scheme
  • Self Assessment Online
  • an overview of limited companies
  • how VAT works
