New HM Revenue and Customs podcasts went live on Tuesday, the UK tax authority has announced.

The first podcast examines the effectiveness of HMRC's online services, and the second offers responses to agents' questions.

HMRC Chairman, Paul Gray, observes in an interview conducted for the online services podcast that while HMRC has "come a very long way", there are more improvements it can make to its online services, and admits that there are "some features of our systems that don't give the service people are looking for".

In the second podcast, Dave Hartnett, HMRC's Director General (Business), answers tax agents' questions on a whole host of subjects, including VAT registration delays, the restructuring of HMRC, and the difference between acceptable and unacceptable tax avoidance.

According to HMRC, more than 6,000 people have already subscribed to its podcast feed, which is available via the tax authority's website.
