Hi guys,
Some of you will know I work full time as a designer in an agency in Liverpool but I also freelance in my spare time. I had 1 week during February of this year when I was unemployed so I registered self-employed so my freelancing was all legit.
However, I didnt ever notify the HMRC that I had started working full time again so now Ive just got a letter saying I have to pay national insurance contributions for the last few months. Surely tho because I pay National Insurance through my day job I shouldnt have to pay it twice because I choose to freelance?
Does anyone know how I can register as a freelancer so I can declare tax and stay legit yet not get charge additional fees like N.I?
I only get a few hours worth of work per month so I hardly make any additional cash.
Any advice and help would be really appreciated!
