Register as Sole Trader

Hi

You would need to provide a start date when you register as a sole trader.
You can only be registered if you provide a start date which has already passed or is within 7 days from now.

Thank you

I want to register as a sole trader as soon as possible

Hi, I have completed my registration 5 months ago and I have no had any update on the delay

Do you have to register as a sole trader if you are simply earning a one off income? e.g Payment for a Guest lecture or Speech?

Hi Ruddink,

No, you can report this as other earned income.

Thank you.

Dear HMRC team, I recently updated my information on the HMRC portal. However, upon attempting to register for self-employment, the portal continues to display my previous details. Despite my attempts to contact HMRC, I have been unable to reach them. Could you kindly provide guidance? I've been facing this issue for over a month now and urgently need to complete my self-employment registration. Thank you for your assistance!

Dear HMRC I am a European citizen and I do not live in the UK, I would like to know if it was possible to register as an individual company to start an e-commerce in the UK

Hi Prachi Vaidya,
When you update your personal information it can take up to 3 working days to update to our different systems.
You would need to allow this timescale after updating your details before submitting the registration.
If you are still having issues then you would need to contact HMRC to register:
Self Assessment: general enquiries
Thank you.
