Self Assessment & Employed

Hello, I am employed full-time and pay taxes via PAYE. On top of that I do occasional freelance work/online sales, which from 6 April 2021 to 5 April 2022 amounted to less than £1000. I registered for self-assessment and got my UTC code for the future, but I would like to double check if I need to file for self-assessment for this last financial year as I am not sure my earnings as a freelancer should be added to what I already earn and get taxed as a full-time employee, Thanks for the info and time!

Hi,
 

If you have already registered for self assessment as a self-employed individual, you will have to file a return for the 2021/22 tax year (and any earlier years during which you were self employed).  If you wish to de-register from Self Assessment on the grounds that your self employed income will be less than the £1000 Trading Allowance, please call our Self Assessment helpline.     See link: Self Assessment: general enquiries   and : Tax-free allowances on property and trading income   . THank you.

Hello, Thank you for your answer. I know that I would need to declare my self-employed income for the year 22/23 as I already know I received payments exceeding £1000 for this period. Should I then de-register and register again later on?

Hi valegra Graziuso,

You can do this and then register again once you meet the criteria for completing the return.

Thank you.
