It usually takes several years before a person who is new to the system understands taxes. While you must always pay the taxes that are due, it does not benefit you to put more money at the HMRC table. This module describes the basics and the laws keep changing.

When you see a case on the wards, you can read about it and then expand your knowledge. Follow up patients whom you have seen and make notes to review your learning.
