Becoming self-employed is the simplest way to start a business; it doesn’t involve any registration fees. The only drawback is that you are personally liable for any debts that your business runs up. For businesses that require a lot of investment, this can be a risky option.
If you are self-employed, you would need to complete a self-assessment tax return. We can complete and file your tax return online or fill in a paper form.
If you meet HMRC’s criteria, you might be required to pay income tax in advance for the next year (payments on account) in two instalments: i.e. January and July, plus a final ‘balancing payment’ with your final return for the tax year.
