New Sole Trader advice

Hi there, I've just graduated from university this July and have been lucky enough to sign onto a 5 month contract until December, for this position I am required to register as self employed and submit invoices to be paid as parts of my contract are completed (so not monthly etc). My question is that having been a student I wasn't working for half the year and my contract won't pay me enough to go over my personal allowance so what would be the best way to submit for Self assessment? As I'm paid infrequently would it be better for me to submit a self assessment at the end of the year and calculate everything together? Apologies I'm trying to understand the process, thank you for your time.

Hi ,
 

If you are self employed and the gross income will be over £1000 then you will need to register as self employed and complete a Self Assessment tax return at the tax year end  see : Check how to register for Self Assessment  . Thank you .
