How HMRC communicates

HMRC uses a variety of different media in order to publicise and inform self -employed people about their tax obligations. These include television, radio, newspapers and direct mail.

These campaigns emphasise the need for self-employed people to comply with the law and give deadlines for completing the forms. A hotline has been set up for people to report anyone not registering as self-employed and evading paying tax.
