Sole Trader - change of name

Hinni

Hi there,

I have recently registered as a sole trader. It was done a bit swiftly as I wanted to do things 'by the book'. I've now decided that I'd like to change my business name. I was wondering whether this can be done? Does the tax man have kittens at this suggestion or is it a definate no no.
Any info/experience would be helpful.

Thanks

I don't think it would be a problem, but I would phone the tax helpline people who I have found very helpful.
