Thinking of becoming your own boss? Whether you're freelancing, selling online, or starting a side hustle, you need to register as self-employed UK with HMRC.
It might sound overwhelming, but it’s easier than you think—and super important to avoid penalties!
When you register as self-employed, HMRC knows you’re running a business and can start sending you the right paperwork—like Self Assessment tax returns.
You’ll also be able to pay Class 2 and Class 4 National Insurance contributions, which count toward your state pension and benefits.
Here’s a quick checklist to register:
Go to the HMRC website and create a Government Gateway account.
Provide details like your name, address, National Insurance number, and the nature of your work.
Wait for your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) number to arrive—it usually takes about 10 days.
Once you’re registered, you’ll need to file a Self Assessment each year, keep good records of your income and expenses, and pay any tax due. Don’t worry—it sounds harder than it is. There are tools and accountants who can help you stay on track.
