Hi, they change something on govuk as I can't find out how to open an UTR account, can you help? Thanks Comment from : Mihai G

Thanks for thos helpful content Very informative brbrQuestion: brI curently have a full time job but would like to register as a sole trading company (before switching to a limited company in the future) I do have an existing account with HMRC howevere, following your steps on this video, iam being asked to state the date the business started, even though i havent been able to register the company yet as a sole trader brbrCan you please provide some help with this? Is there another indépendant site to register as a sole company before appliying to HMRC? Comment from : Chidera Nkem-Paul

So from the perspective of an individual who's never been registered as a Self-Employed, would've been nice to cover what are the commitments or procedures If previously I worked as a full-time employee of an organisation or company, and in between changing jobs I think I could freelance and I register as a self-employed however, I don't manage to make any income during the period of my self-employment - do I still need to spend time to complete forms and submit them and be worried if I don't do it before a certain deadline, I would get penalties and other debt letters from HRMC? How about if I got back to full-time employment in the meantime, do I need to unregister and dissolve the Self-Employment account? - I'd rather keep everything under 1 account (tax id) as HMRC are notorious for messing up the wages and the tax codes One month they say they owe you money and the next one they say you owe them twice as much 👎🏻 Comment from : B

Hi! Great video, thank you :) I have a quick question - I haven't earned £1000 yet, as I am just beginning the process of starting a business However I am looking at buying a website domain name and when I put down that it was for business, it required my company name I am also looking at setting up a bank account as a sole trader, but I assume that will also require a company name - so my question is this: shouldn't I register as a sole trader before doing these things so that I have a name to put down? Will I be allowed to register as a sole trader if I haven't earned £1000 yet? Comment from : Russian for Beginners

It's great best clear understand thank you 😍 Comment from : Asiri Sandaruwan

I'm aslo working in the company and get payed by them but I also want to start a side business, still may i apply for UTR number? Comment from : Ripu Patel

Will HMRC ask you for your bank details as well to charge the corresponding account with any tax? Or will they just not ask you for that? Also if I was to register this month (October), will I have to pay my tax by Jan 31st 2023 or would I be paying the year after that so jan 31st 2024?brbrThank you ❤ Comment from : H Vitalityyy2_

Are you able to register as self-employed during the tax year of your first year of trading or is it best to wait to register until the tax year is over? I started self-employment in June 2022 but I'm not sure if I register now in October 2022 it will give me the 2021-2022 return to do instead Thanks Comment from : Imogen Ascott

Excelent Comment from : Doria Salvador

I just submitted my application today as I started self employment in my small baking business this tax year But my application didn’t ask for the proof of identity questions and the part where you chose what type of tax you wanted to sign up for was much longer for me asking me details about my business type and contacts It’s my first time as self employed so will my home page look like yours after I receive my UTR in the post? Comment from : Robbie King

I do not have a Northern Ireland driving license what do I do? Comment from : Hensitive

Hiya, thanks a lot for your video It is appreciated I want to register as a sole trader Now, where you were able to click one 'Self-assessment, including partnership and trusts', I only have the following options: A) Corporate Tax, B) PAYE for employers, C) Shared Workspace, D) Self Assessment for Partnership or trusts, or Marketing Digital for Income Tax, E) VAT and VAT services, for example, EC Scale List What is the right one? I assumed 'D', yet, that does not list sole trader/individual down the line but only partnership or trust Can you help` Comment from : Awa Sabrina Ottiger

Hi mate I’ve just registered as a sole trader and pair the £47 fee, They emailed me to say they’re checking the details given and if their correct I should receive a UTR number within 15 days, I’ve signed up for a government gateway/personal tax account, however it won’t allow me to log in unless I confirm my identity in two ways, a UK passport, a Northern Ireland driving licence or a phone contract history, I don’t have either of those so it’s impossible for me to confirm it, I’m not sure what to do here, is there any other way to file self employment tax or can you only do it through the government gateway account? Any help would be massively appreciated Comment from : SteP96

Hi thank you for the video! Quick question what if I am self employed as a locum for 7 weeks do I still need to submit a self assessment return? Comment from : Keyboard Wars

I don’t see the register online tab Comment from : Darren Hawkins

Hey thanks a lot for your guidance, especially the part on how to obtain the government gateway number; but at 5:18, you go into a page called “business tax account” but at the same time, personal tax account is shown on the bottom of that page; so for my case, I am just a freelancer and haven’t really set up any “company” at all, so I think I should register for a personal tax account only, but the top of that page is showing it is a business tax account page! Could you please give me some clarification or guidance? Thanks a lot! Comment from : funnie msf

Great video, brilliant tips, thanks Comment from : Daughter of Fire

I marked that I have no UTR number They asked to confirm my identity but I don't have the information they ask for My options are: UK passport, Credit reference questions, Northern Ireland driving licenceWhat can I do?

Is it possible to register for self employment and taxes without uk passport I am on tier 2 dependent visa Is it possible? Comment from : Vagabond Lokasanchari

Mine is completely different Comment from : Big Yak

Regarding the Gov Gateway set up, do you create a new account for your sole trader business, or do you use your current account with them? brFor example, I am fully employed by a company, but I am looking to set up as a sole trader also for weekend work etc Do I us emy current gateway account, or would it be safer to set up a new/second account? Comment from : Scott McSweeney

But what do you do if you hold a foreign passport? Seems like you have to have one to access the gateway, so they can confirm your identity I've emailed HMRC about this Comment from : Suchi Ahuja

Thanks for this! If I'm only just starting out with my small business, and haven't made enough money yet to pay tax, do I still need to register somehow? Or is that only possible once you've made enough to need a self assessment? Comment from : Mbeepy

I’ve had issues verifying my account I don’t have a passport or Northern Ireland driver license to verify my identity Comment from : Jack’s Project’s

Hello, this video is quite helpful I’m stuck on identity confirmation What if someone have no Uk passport or payslip or credit card Comment from : Shamrose Slamat
