How do I register as self-employed?

To get your freelancer status you need a UTR number, which you can obtain whether you’re a university student, employee, unemployed, or retired.

It allows you to work full-time and part-time with complete freedom, thanks to Onestaff.

Whilst earning more than the national living wage!

You can get it by registering for self-assessment on the HMRC website using this link: https://www.gov.uk/register-for-self-assessment.

It typically takes between 10 days to receive your UTR number.

If you already have a UTR number you can find it on your Personal Tax Account, on previous tax returns, other documents from HMRC, or on their app- https://www.gov.uk/guidance/download-the-hmrc-app.
