HMRC - Starting your own business e-learning course

Have you just started in business and become self-employed? Got a lot of questions about Income Tax, National Insurance, business records and expenses? If so, this e-learning course is for you.

It explains and guides you through everything you need to know to get started. There are some useful tips from others who have been where you might be now - just starting out and needing some help.

You can work through the course at your own pace. It takes on average between one and two hours to complete, but you don't need to do it all in one go - you can dip in and out as often as you like. You do not need to be a library member to use this resource.

All of our libraries have free public computers, free WiFi and internet access. Central Library also has a large quiet study/work space.
