HMRC Orders More Podcasts

HMRC Orders More Podcasts

LONDON, July 12/PRNewswire/ -- Branded content and podcast specialist, Brandspanking Media,
www.brandspanking.co.uk has been commissioned to produce another series of
podcasts for HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs) www.hmrc.gov.uk/podcasts

The new content follows a successful trial earlier in the year, which
included HMRC's Director-General (Business) Dave Hartnett discussing how the
department is trying to work better with tax agents. Another podcast offered
help and advice to employers in completing their Employers' Annual Return.

HMRC is one of the first Government departments to launch podcasts,
designed to make information on some of the most wide-ranging issues simple
and accessible.

The podcasts are between three and four minutes' duration, offering
advice, support and helpful hints in a conversational style.

For the next series, agents are being encouraged to email their questions
for Dave Hartnett. These will be put to him in an interview in early August,
that will answer some of the profession's most frequently asked questions
about Fresh Start.

Anne Shevas, Acting Director of Communications & Marketing at HMRC says
"The launch of podcasts have demonstrated there's a real appetite for the
chance to hear directly from some of the UK's most senior tax practitioners."

David Prever, MD of Brandspanking says, "It's good to see that government
are embracing new ways of communicating through the web. The first podcasts
were hugely successful and we look forward to working with other departments
too."
