Hey folks, I wonder if anyone can help me. I currently work in a butchers shop, and I have been asked to set up and run a website for them. I get paid by the hour in the shop, and I have to invoice them for the costs incurred and my time for the website. Should I register, or is there any benefit to me registering as self employed for the work on the website. I will be earning approximately £2500 a year through the website and about the same in the shop. Any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Michael
self employed or not....

Good advice - and I suggest you might also tactfully raise the question with the butcher: if they think you are self-employed they won't include the payments in your pay (for NIC as well as tax purposes) when they make their return to HMRC. Even though you are probably below the PAYE/NIC threshold come what may, they ought to have thought about it. See eg
