Hi, Many thanks for informative video. Would you mind to answer one question please? I’m starting self employment along with my full time employment. Have spent £28k for self employment business to start. Does that means that I’m no longer will be paying tax from full time employment until the money spent for self employment business start up returned? I’m talking about pre-trade expenses? Thanks in advance

Hi Darius, Thanks for getting in touch. No, your employer will continue to deduct Income Tax and National Insurance through PAYE from your wages. You mention that you are self-employed, so we assume that you are a sole trader. As such, you will claim tax relief on your pre-trading expenses through Self Assessment when you file your tax return with HMRC. We would recommend appointing an accountant to help you with this and ensure that everything is carried out properly. All the very best with your new business venture.

@@1stformations Hi, Many thanks for reply. To be honest it’s now sounds very confusing when you mentioned that tax and national insurance still will be deducted from my wages. So how the tax relief for pre trade expenses will work then if government will keep deducting tax as normal?

@@DariusUK Hi Darius, Tax requirements can be very confusing when running your own business. This is why we always urge people to seek expert help and advice from an accountant. You will deduct your pre-trade expenses from your self-employed income on a Self Assessment tax return, which you must file with HMRC at the end of the tax year. By filing this tax return, you are telling HMRC how much money you earned through your business, what expenses you are claiming, and how much tax and National Insurance you owe (if any) on your self-employed income after the deduction of expenses. If you do owe anything, you are responsible for paying your self-employed tax bill directly to HMRC. So, the first thing you need to do (if you've not already done this) is register for Self Assessment to tell HMRC that you are running a business. We have a blog post that explains how to register for Self Assessment. www.1stformations.co.uk/blog/do-i-need-to-register-for-self-assessment/ www.gov.uk/register-for-self-assessment We hope this helps.

Hi, Thanks for reply. Yes I was planning to use the service you providing to sort my taxes out. But from your latest response I’ve realised that you are not competent and sorry if this offended you in any way. If you read my initial question you would understand that I’m full time employee and also self employed. So from what you are saying is that if I earn on my full time let say 40k and from self employed 2k a year then this means that I can only claim pre-trade expenses from 2k. Unfortunately this is not a case as tax returns must be calculated from both full time and self employment. If that would be true what you are saying then to get my pre-trade expenses while earning only about 2k a year would need around 30 years 😂

Hi Darius, Please be aware that we do not provide a service to assist with taxes. You would need to speak to an accountant to receive further advice. Best of luck!@@DariusUK
