Be both employed and self-employed at the same time

Hi, I am working for a company on weekdays. I get my salary every week and I have paid the tax through “Pay As You Earn”. During May to August 2023, I worked as a self-employed delivery driver for another company as a part-time job. I have earned around £770 from this delivery job. That means I was employed and self-employed at the same time during May to August 2023. In this case, do I need to register with HMRC for the self assessment? Thank you so much.

Hi FinleyK,

You would only need to declare the income if it was above £1,000 in the tax year se: 
 Tax-free allowances on property and trading income

Thank you

Thank you for your reply. Do you mean that even the annual income from my full time job which pay the tax by PAYE is around £21000, but my annual income from the self employed job is under £1000, I still don’t have to register for the self assessment? Thank you.

Yes. The trading allowance is a tax exemption of up to £1,000 a year for individuals, including for self-employment. You're not obliged to tell HMRC until you earn beyond £1,000, no matter how much PAYE income you have. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/tax-free-allowances-on-property-and-trading-income#trade

Thank you very much.

Hi
That's correct
