New help for small businesses launched

Date published: 02 August 2017


A new online tax forum and dedicated webchat service for small businesses and the self-employed has been launched by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

The Small Business Online Forum is for small businesses to get answers to their tax questions as well as help with: 

  • Starting a business
  • Support for growing a business – including taking on employees and expanding
  • Buying and selling abroad
  • Completing tax returns
  • Tax credits

Mel Stride, Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General, said: “We want to help businesses get off the ground and support them as they grow. That is why we are launching a new forum and webchat service which will give these companies 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 can be accessed at:
