Help & Support
HMRC publishes authoritative guidance on GOV.UK, runs free webinars, and offers helplines. Complex situations benefit from regulated professional advice.
- GOV.UK collections are updated when rules change
- Webinars cover MTD for Income Tax step by step
- Contact HMRC early if you cannot meet a deadline
What it is
HMRC publishes detailed guidance on GOV.UK, runs webinars for MTD, and provides helplines for Self Assessment and VAT. Complex cases may need professional advice from a qualified accountant.
SelfSubmit is record-keeping and submission software — not tax advice. For disputes, investigations, or complex structures, use an ICAEW, ACCA, or AAT member firm. Community forums are not a substitute for GOV.UK.
Who it applies to
Everyone in MTD — especially when starting out or changing business structure.
What you need to do
- Read the relevant GOV.UK collection for your situation.
- Attend HMRC webinars for MTD for Income Tax.
- Contact HMRC if you cannot meet a deadline. Do not leave correspondence unaddressed.
Key points
- SelfSubmit helps organise records and submissions — it does not replace HMRC guidance or professional advice.
- Always verify rule changes on GOV.UK.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Relying on social media tax “hacks” instead of GOV.UK
- Missing HMRC letters and penalty notices
- Waiting until investigation to find missing records
How SelfSubmit helps
Use SelfSubmit for organised monthly records and our information blocks for concise MTD summaries — always verify rule changes on GOV.UK before acting.
