HMRC have announced details of a Business Advice Open Day (BAOD) at Aston Villa Football Club, Birmingham on Wednesday, 16 September 2009. Whether you’re new to business or well established, finding customers, meeting your liabilities and getting to grips with tax and cash flow can be a real challenge. The HMRC BAOD brings together the expertise of a wide range of organisations eager to provide practical, free advice under one roof. HMRC will be offering businesses practical advice and offering information on its time saving and business support initiatives. Information on the Business Payment Support Service, which can allow businesses to delay tax payments during difficult times, and its quick and easy online services, will be available. There will also be seminars explaining the basics of VAT and what you need to do if you’re self employed. Partner organisations such as the Environment Agency, Age Positive, Jobcentre Plus and others will be at the event to advise on environmental legislation, age discrimination, health and safety and more. And while seminar places should be booked to guarantee a place, you don’t need to book to visit the exhibition and can call in as you wish. Roger Lovell, Business Liaison Team manager said: “It’s inevitable that some people will find tax issues daunting, or be worried about meeting their liabilities during today’s tough times. This event allows us to bring our advice directly into the heart of the West Midlands and offer practical assistance where it is needed. “HMRC runs a number of schemes to make tax as hassle free as possible, and engages with our customers. And our attitude has always been to assist businesses in short term difficulty so that we can help keep viable businesses afloat. Our partner organisations will also be on hand to explain their services and how they can help small and medium sized enterprises.” Last year, more than 10,000 people attended a BAOD. You don’t need to make an appointment for the exhibition, but booking for seminars – which can be found on our web site – is advisable. Among the exhibitors are: - Age Positive The event takes place on Wednesday, 16 September 2009, 9am to 5pm at Aston Villa Football Club, Birmingham.
