Organised by The British Library
A face to face workshop focusing on tax education for new businesses and start-ups
About this event
HMRC will be presenting hour long roadshows about tax as part of their customer and community outreach programme.
We will be looking at:
- Self-Employment for the Construction Industry - what happens and what you need to do
- Tax Payments - how to pay and when
About your speaker:
We are the UK’s tax, payments and customs authority, and we have a vital purpose:
We collect the money that pays for the UK’s public services helping families and individuals with targeted financial support.
We do this by being impartial, increasingly effective and efficient in our administration.
We help the honest majority to get their tax right and make it hard to cheat the system.
We:
- Are responsible for safeguarding the flow of money to the Exchequer through our collection, compliance and enforcement activities
- Make sure that money is available to fund the UK’s public services
- Facilitate legitimate international trade, protect the UK’s fiscal, economic, social and physical security before and at the border, and collect UK trade statistics
- Administer Statutory Payments such as statutory sick pay and statutory maternity pay
- Are a high volume business; almost every UK individual and business is a direct customer of HMRC
- Aim to administer the tax system in the most simple, customer focused and efficient way
