HM Revenue and Customs have decided to remove their Tactical and Information Packages (TIPs) from their website. TIPs are HMRC’s own detailed guides to the economics of a range of businesses, and are essential reading for those acting for any of the trades and professions featured. By June 2007 published TIPs were as follows:
- Bookmakers
- Construction industry
- Field Sports
- Licenced trades
- Estate agents
- Franchises
- Waste Disposal and Landfill sites
A note on HMRC’s website says:
"Following a review of our publication policy a decision has been made to withdraw the current Tactical & Information Packages from the HMRC website."
HMRC has not withdrawn its Business Ecconomic Notes (BENS), although these are all somewhat dated.
Business Economic Notes published to-date cover the following:
1. Travel Agents
2. Road Haulage
3. Lodging Industry
4. Hairdressers
