  • Self Employed mainly but acquiring work with a PAYE employer, what tax code?

    Hi there, My main source of income is through my self-employed work. From this month onwards I am gaining supplementary income through an employer that pays through PAYE. My self-employed work, however, will still be my main source of income. And in a few months I'll probably return to 100% of my income being through self-employed once again. I have done this type of work setup before, and I remember that my tax codes have been wrong on my PAYE payslips and it's been a faff to change them. I don't want to start this job with the wrong details, so I'll need some help to find the right code and make sure I fill out the starter form correctly. 1) On page 2 of the Starter Form, how shall I fill it out? - Am I right in saying I should tick "Yes" to box 8 ("Do you have another job?")? - And should I tick 'X' in Statement C (Tax Code BR)? 2) If not, what tax code should I request? Thank you for your help.
