Taxes, returns & payroll

Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC) can help with all your tax questions when expanding your business. If you are self employed they can help you with Self Assessment and Tax Credits. If you are expanding to become a Limited Company for the first time you will need to register with HMRC for Corporation Tax.
 
If you intend to employ other people they can help you through the process of registering as an employer and assist you with the required paperwork.
