Registering as self employed?

[Keva]

I want to register myself as self employed so I can do freelance web designing.

Ive never had any dealings with the tax office before so how do I start going about this?

Best having a good read then let others who are self employed fill in the gaps.

your best bet is to see an accountant, once you get the hang of thing s you can start filling your own tax returns

You might be better off going through an umbrella company as IR35 might stitch you anyway. Check out Orange & Gold. I used them a few years back and they do everything for you

IR35 only applies if you are operating through a Ltd company not self employed so as long as you can source your work directly it's not an issue.

I tried Gabem - the cunts deducted 39.5%. Needless to say I never used them again.
