HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has launched a new series of online video guides for new and small companies.

The series of ten videos will provide help and guidance on a range of tax issues, from what to do when first setting up a new business, income tax for the self-employed, corporation tax and VAT.

A website is being launched to accompany the videos, which will be hosted by TV presenter Dan Snow.

"We've broken the information down into small video chunks, so that people can access exactly what they need to know. Hopefully this makes the new videos really useful for people and businesses," said Snow.
