Registration for Self Assessment and NI Contributions as Sole Trader

About you

Who needs to register for self-assessment:

  • You need to register for self-assessment if you work as a sole trader/freelancer/self-employed, or if you are a partner in a business. Also, you must register if you receive income from other untaxed sources such as dividends, interest, property rental, and capital gains. In addition, you must register if you earn over £100,000 in a year.

​

How to register?

  • You can register directly with HMRC by accessing Gov.UK or by starting your UTR Application above and we will do it for you. As some may find the process daunting, we simplified the registration, and our experienced accountants will submit the correct information to HMRC.  After the registration, you will receive your Unique Tax Reference Number (UTR) directly from HMRC delivered to you through the post.

​

What is a Unique Tax Reference (UTR) number?

  • A UTR number is a 10-digit number issued by HMRC at the time of registration for self-assessment. This will be assigned to you for life and is the number that HMRC will recognise you at the time of self-assessment.

​

What is the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)?

  • CIS is a scheme introduced by HMRC through which a certain percentage (0%, 20%, 30%) of your Gross income is deducted and paid to HMRC to account for your Income Tax and National Insurance contributions while working as a self-employed subcontractor. When any CIS deduction is made, the contractor should give you a document stating this. This is called a CIS Statement or Payment and Deductions Statement.

​

Why are there different percentages of CIS deduction?

  • The percentage deduction is based on the type of CIS registration you have (or don't have):

    • 0% is when you register for CIS for Gross Payment Status- this means no deductions will be made from your gross income,

    • 20% is when you have a regular CIS registration- this means 20% of your income will be deducted from your gross income and paid to HMRC, and

    • 30% when you are not registered for CIS- this means that 30% of your gross income will be deducted and paid to HMRC.

 

How do I register for CIS?

  • If you have an existing UTR number, you can contact the CIS Helpline, or if you are just applying for a UTR number, the registration can be made at the same time. If your UTR Application is submitted through TACS, the registration is done automatically. If you require further help regarding the CIS registration, please Contact Us.
