Business advice from HMRC
Legally, your business is going to have to deal with HMRC. It is known for handling taxes, but it also has a lot of really business advice on the gov.uk website, including videos, webinars and newsletters. This makes it really easy to find out exactly what information you need to give them, as well as handy ways for you to get money back from Government.
