Im trying to help my daughter register as Self employed, Ive looked for 1/2 hour on the HMRC site and cant for the life of me find a link to do it online, I have found a Fill in online and print and send back to HMRC form, but surely it can be done online ? ? ?
anyone know if you can ? ?
cheers, ive been on that page and just appear to go around in circles
I think she needs a Government gateway ID to do it
Giving up now for tonight, the HMRC site is just rubbish to navigate imho
https://www.gov.uk/register-for-self.../self-employed
If she’s only just recently started then no need to stress or rush it as won’t be due for a while yet anyway.
It is a bit of a nightmare to navigate, but you'll need the gateway ID and my advice is to write it down somewhere as it's a pain to find again.
I may be wrong but I think there's something called a UTR that you'll also need, but get given by them, again make sure you write it down somewhere.
When you don't need to do a self assessment again make sure you update them or they will send you a fine for not filing your returns.
The Gateway ID number (12 digits I think) is what you create first to enable you to access your personal tax records. You'll then get a 10 digit SA-UTR (Unique Tax Reference) when you register for self assessment. These are the 2 important numbers to remember.
Each time you log onto your gateway you'll be sent (to your mobile if you want) a unique 6 digit code as a security check.
thanks all, all done now
needed a gateway ID before she could fill it in
the site is shocking, you click on a link, it sends you to another page, you click on next and its back to the 1st page, I guess its a massive job to make is more user-friendly so they dont bother
I’m too lazy - and busy!
I have to agree that HMRC’s website appears to have been developed in about 1999. 🤣
