Self employed and Employed

I am currently looking at being employed as freelance worker but may also take on work that is contracted and paid through an employer. How do I register as being asked for a UTR number for the freelance work.

Hi 2020Lotus,

Please refer to Set up as self-employed (a 'sole trader'): step by step

Thank you.

Hi. I'm asking on behalf of my wife. She works as an employee and self-employed. She receives mileage from regular work, but they do not pay the full amount se we need to setup Self Assessment account to reclaim the difference. For her self-employed work she also does mileage and we need to claim these as expenses. Can she do both from same self assessment account, and how?

Hi,

Yes. When filing in the return, she will need to tailor the return to show that she has both PAYE and Self Employment income. The sources of income and expenses will be claimed under the relevant source.

Thank you.

Hi My wife is employed and self employed, on the self assesment under the paye section it asks if she has received any extra work benefits, which she has £1000 in private health insurance. Why do i need to report this on the self assessment, wouldnt the company accountant have reported this bonus to hmrc already? How else would this extra income have been reported if she wasnt filing a self assessment?

Hi,

The tax return is a declaration of all your taxable income to ensure the correct tax is paid and she needs to declare the PAYE income along with her self employment. If only employed PAYE, then all tax would be collected throughout the year based on the tax code.

Thank you.

Hello, Is it actually worth taking on a worthy role in my spare time. Im a higher tax payer and looking to do Medic responder job in spare time. I have been on the calculator and it seems if i earn 6000 in one year i will take home about 1800! Although the job is worthy and eventually I will switch over to do it full time it does not seem worth it. And NI contributios? I am fully paid up, anx do not require any state help in the future other than what i have rightfully fully accrued.

Hi I m confused whether I m self employed or under employment. I m uk tax resident. I was employed by a company to provide exam invigilation to a school. We have no contract. They sent out the dates and I put on my availability. Then they assign the date for me with their decision. I was paid weekly basis. Concurrently this is my only job. It take me 4 to 20 hours weekly depends (weekly pay 40 to250 pounds depends) They paid me without any tax deduction. I have no staff benefit and pension with this company. This seasonal job gave me 1100 pounds income annually. What will be my employment status? I understand that I should report self assessment anyway, but there is other issues related to NI etc. So may I clarify my employment status? Am I employed or selfcemployed？ Thanks

Hi, I am self-employed, I have been made aware that the tax rules are changing to ensure the tax year for everybody is April to March; I am currently December to November. To bring me into line my accountant asked for my details for December 23 to March 24 so that my tax can be worked out. This means that 16 months of earnings has been calculated. I have now been told that my payment in advance will increase due to the extra earnings for the 4 months however, I will not earn 16 months worth of earnings in 12 months, in fact due to projected earnings for December 2024 to March 2025, I will probably not earn as much in this tax year as I did in the previous 12 months. I would if possible like to pay off the extra tax for the added 4 months on my 2 payments due to HMRC but not increase my payment in advance as it will be over inflated, is this possible? and if so how do I do this. Thank you in anticipation of your response.
