This totally explained what I needed. THANK YOU

The video is titled HOW TO REGISTER AS A SOLE TRADER, it tells you everything about why you need to - but does NOT - SHOW you HOW. Very disappointing.

[RichardWilliams-bmqi]

Very, very useful. Thanks so much for the broadcast 🙂

I found the content itself quite useful but the delivery was SO difficult to follow. Long winded sentences that seemed to just blend into each other, no difinitive end to statements. I had to rewind and relisten to much of this video just to ascertain what points were being made and where the sentence ended. Felt extremely inconcise for a subject where clarity is everything.

Thank you for the insight! I have subscribed to your channel. Please I have few questions:

1. I have a National Insurance Number already and I work for another company, my sole trading is a weekend service, can I have a separate Insurance Number for the business?

2. I will be the only Staff of the company, others are freelancers and I read, I am not responsible for their TAX and Insurance, since they are freelancers or contractors. Is it possible I pay TAX and National Insurance for only myself as Staff?

3. If the company where I work is aware that I run a weekend professional service, Is there any implication if I pay TAX and National Insurance as an employee of that company I work for and also as a sole trader of my own company?

Thank you

Hi! gosh this is a bit confusing, so in the HMRC website when you click to register to sole trader, then asks you to register the self assessment, when you click on that it gives 3 options, being already self employed, you're part of a partnership and then a 3rd option which says an other reason. my situation is that I'm not self employed and I work full time so not sure where to start

Thank you for your help, very informative!

I am setting up a mobile hairdressing business, Can I go on the hmrc app and register as a sole trader and self assesment at the same time through clicking register for self assesment, or do I need to firstly fill out the SA1 form then apply to register for self assesment?

[chapz]

Hi thanks for your help. I’ve just registered for self assessment if not self employed (SA1) using the link in description. Will this give me a UTR number as I am wanting to register for CIS. Just double checking I have followed the right steps?
Thank you

Hi. Thank you for the information. I think I may have registered for the wrong thing on HMRC. I am staring my small business as a sole trader but I registered for personal tax instead. I need my UTR to start trading. I'd really appreciate your help. 😍

[juliettemerle]

I don't understand I want to register as a sole trader.. I can't find the link.. the link you gave sent me to "register as the sole trader" and my only choice is... "register for self assessment" .. is there a place to first register as a sole trader??

[zoewilliams]

Hello, thank you this is very helpful!
Once I have filled out the SA1 form do I have to wait for my UTR before I can do the CWF1-LC? Thanks

[journeywithjesus]

Hi thanks for the video. I can’t find the cwf1 form to submit online only the printable version. Would you have a link for that?

[PeterBlackburn-su]

Useful information threaded into a verbose presentation. It could be improved with some presentation training to save thousands of people unnecessary pain. I'm a registered sole trader so I already have a UTR and want to change add another name this presentation was a bit murky as to how to do this ...I'll surf about online and try and find out how ie add another sole trader name. clearer step by step guide re online routes to 'keep it simple' would help too with website info and routes etc

Hi I’m pretty new to all this, I work a normal job but I also want to start a business I’ve just registered for self assessment. What do I do now. After the assessment it just said return back to hmrc.

[sharvarichikhalkar]

Do we fill the SA1 form to register as sole trader and for self assessment? Or is there a different form for both?

[libragirl]

Hi ive just registered my business couple of days ago, however i dont like the busniess name i chose, can i change this?
Any help would be much appreciated

[shariff]

If I am starting a small business along side my job, will this effect the tax at my job.
