Hi, I was employed previously but was made redundant last month. Now I am setting myself up as Self employed - how do I notify HMRC of this please (is there something I can do online)? Thank you

Hi, I already submit the annual self assessment as I have other incomes. My question is, how can I notify HMRC of the change in status from employed to self employed in the system please? In the link you suggest it only talks about 'registering for Self Assessment' but I don't need to do that. Thank you
