'What's New' and where is it hidden? By Nichola Ross Martin

Back from holiday I switched on my PC to recommence the on-going battle (uphill) to stay up-to-date with tax. This involves trying to read everything, and naturally means surfing a large collection of websites.

Not too much had been happening on HMRC's website in August, if you are keen on the SME/OMB market, according to its "What's New" section. Not so easily fooled, so I checked the GNN - the government's news website - too. You see, quite often you find postings on one and not on the other.

Back on HMRC's site I browsed the manuals updates pages.

I have a feed reader and am sent details of the updates to all HMRC manuals each day - details of this service is on the HMRC website.

Yes, sorry, I should have made it clearer in my post that Feed Reader is free. Also must stress that I haven't tried Feed Reader and so was not making any comparisons.

FeedDemon

I don't know how good Feed Reader is, but, if you want to pay USD29.95, I would strongly recommend FeedDemon.

Usual disclaimers - I'm just a very satisfied user.

If you use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer, it has an integral Live Bookmark RSS feed reader. It is also free, less prone to attack than IE and better.

The link I posted for the feed reader is free software.

Hi Chris

Below is the link to the feed reader I use. I also get feeds from Accountancy Age, ACAS and CIOT.

This will come with a number of feeds as standard but you can delete them.

Apparently there is a new sytem in HMRC for posting

on What's new, and this is why the TB was not announced.
I went off the old RSS thing because I ended up subscribing to so much that I got in a right old mess. I will try again, and just try and limit it. Thanks for the link I will try that one out for a while.

thanks Nicola ...
