Does anyone know if there are any courses run either free or paid where I can learn about self employment accounts and working out tax etc? I'm sure I read a while ago that the HMRC sometimes runs some but for the life of me I cannot find any information on it?

Thanks in advance

    I have been on one of these courses recently. I went through Business Link...then I had a letter and follow up phone call by HMRC for available dates....The course last about 4 hours and well worth going


    Have you got a website or a phone number for Business Link at all if you can not post it could you pm me with it. I would be interested to go on one of these courses

    Thanks
