You should receive confirmation of your Self Employment registration 3 weeks after you reregister.

Hi mpamia,
An issued cheque is valid for 6 months.
Thank you. 

Hi heroicglaedr,
You can send HMRC a letter, outlining the expenses you wish to claim for each year.
If the expenses total is under £2500 in a year, we can process that claim through your regular PAYE record, without the need to file a return for that year.
Expenses claims over £2500 in a year will require a tax return for that year.
Please see guidance here:

Extra-Statutory Concessions
Thank you. 
 

Hi cobblex,
As the first £30k of your Redundancy Payment is tax free, it should not affect your Adjusted Net Income.
Any amount received over the £30K limit would be classed as taxable income, and affect your ANI accordingly.
Thank you. 

Hi comoptrol,
Once the payment is allocated it will show the original payment date and at that time the interest charges will be updated on your statement.
If you check your online account once allocated the interest will be updated. 
Thank you.

Hi sedgey,
If you are a non UK resident, who commences employment from a UK employer, they would set you up on their payroll system as normal and send the 'FPS' information as normal.
They would deduct tax from your income as normal.
 You would in turn, submit the online form P85 once you have commenced the employment; to confirm that you are resident outside of the UK, but employed by a UK employer.
HMRC can then send the correct tax code to your UK employer instructing them to stop deducting tax and refund any tax already you have already paid, back to you.
You would declare this income in Japan as foreign employment income.
If you will be working for a UK client as self employed individual, they would pay you gross, per your invoices and this is declared gross in Japan as foreign self employment income.
You would not be subject to UK national insurance, although you can voluntarily pay towards a state pension.
Apply to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions when abroad (CF83)
Thank you. 

Hi StockOptions821485a,
Restricted Stock Units, are a way of employers providing incentives to employees over the long term.
As the RSU is from your employer, the income when it vests, should be shown in the employment section if it is included in your P60.
You would then claim a credit for the tax, in the foreign section under 'Employment, self-employment and other income which you paid foreign tax on'.
If it's not included in your P60, please include it on the box on the employment page for 'Tips and other payments not included on your P60'.
If you do not sell the shares immediately on vesting, then you could have a capital gains tax liability, where they are sold for more than the acquisition cost.
ERSM20193 advises that when RSUs payout at the market value on what is called "dividend equivalents" in either cash or shares, such payments will generally be taxed as earnings in the year they are received.

Thank you.
