HMRC Self Employment Registration

[wagstaf]

Hello all.

I registered with HMRC as self employed in early November. I do some consultancy work for clients and earn about £500 a month.

My question is simple: what happens now? I think I will owe them for NI contributions but do they invoice me or am I expected to pay?

I haven't heard from them (except for a confirmation email) since registering.

Thanks for your help.

You could fill in this form for paying NI contributions by Direct Debit

You will pay class 2 NI at about £32 a quarter. You can opt to pay by DD or they send you a payslip for it when it becomes due.

Give them a ring if you are unsure or want confirmation when you will get your first bill for it.

I pay mine via Direct Debit. Numbs the pain.

Make sure you do your sums carefully, you're close to the Class 2 NI threshold for gaining an exemption. The threshold is £5315 this coming financial year. More information here:
