hi there - im happy to assist.

If you receive any payment for a service you have provided or a business you operate, this requires you to register with HMRC, but does not necessarily mean you earn enough to require you to pay tax.

You must register as self-employed within three months of starting trading otherwise you will be liable to pay a £100 fine. Call HMRC website to register or fill out the online form to register as self-employed.

I hope this answers your questions. Please don't forget to click accept. Thanks in advance and positive feedback is greatly appreciated.
