New Digital Tax Rules in the UK

Introduction

The UK government has new rules for tax. Many small business owners do not know about these rules.

Main Body

People who earn more than £50,000 must use a computer for their tax. They must send tax information every three months. They need special software to do this. Many people are not ready. 70% of business owners do not understand the new rules. Only 37% know the date is August 7. Only 8% use the right software. A company called Sage wants to help. They use a famous man named Gary Neville to tell people about the rules. They give free software and clothes to workers in construction.

Conclusion

Many business owners are not ready for August 7. Now, a private company is helping them.
