The measure

HMRC and businesslink.gov.uk which provide a range of services for start-ups including online tools, video guides and factsheets, will launch a new personalised area for start-ups on businesslink.gov.uk in Autumn 2011. This will provide easy access to enhanced guidance and tools to help businesses find the support they need when setting up. It will include a tax registration 'wizard' that enables registration for multiple taxes, online services and payment plans using a single interactive online form.

Building on this, HMRC will provide an online facility, by the end of 2011, that provides SMEs with a single view of their current tax liabilities or repayments across the main taxes and reduces the number of times they have to provide the same information (eg address updates) to HMRC.

Who will be affected?

Start-up businesses and SMEs.                              

When?

The wizard is due to launch in Autumn 2011.
