I logged onto HMRC yesterday and was quite impressed with the information available on the new website. If you have not logged on recently it is worth a visit. With modern technology, it is a shame it was not available earlier.

I've checked the help menus and I've tried several options but I'm having no luck. In Sage Invoicing can you add contact details to the invoice? I'm assuming as most options i've tried haven't come up with anything then you can't and you have to have Sage Instant Accounts? Thanks in advance.
