Self-employment means working for yourself rather than for an employer who pays a salary. Self-employed individuals often work as contractors, freelancers, or business owners. You can also be considered self-employed if you sell goods or services on your own.

Once you start earning from self-employment, you need to notify HMRC. The fastest way is to complete Tax2u’s simple 3-step online form. We’ll submit your application within 24 hours, and HMRC will issue your UTR number usually within 10 working days.
