HMRC have published the latest in a series of online, bite-sized videos for new and small businesses. Episode three in the “Start Up Diaries” series follows recent developments in the lives of three budding entrepreneurs – Ruth, Nick and Hannah. The video diary series provides a unique insight – in the trio’s own words – into how they’ve coped with the ups and downs of going it alone. It can be viewed or downloaded free from the Business Link website at www.businesslink.gov.uk/taxhelp, and is essential viewing for anyone who’s recently started up in business, or is thinking of doing so. HMRC recently launched a range of 10 video guides, fronted by TV presenter Dan Snow, which provide a helpful overview on a range of key tax issues. These include: setting up in business, income tax for the self-employed, corporation tax, and VAT. They can also be downloaded for free from www.businesslink.gov.uk/taxhelp. Detailed case studies for Ruth, Nick and Hannah are available from HMRC on request. The full list of tax-help web videos is: setting up in business, income tax for the self employed, National Insurance, record keeping, employing other people, corporation tax, VAT, importing and exporting, business allowances, and the Construction Industry Scheme. Episode 4 of the Start Up Diaries is planned for October 2009.
