Got certificate, filled first vacancy, now what??

[juliaemma]

So i have just agreed to take on a school pick up and the mum is coming back next week to fill out all the contract, forms etc. Now what else do i do?
I have not informed my house insurance of any Difference..do i need to? Also, do i tell inland revenue before or after i start, and what do they do? Anything else i need to do? Thanks.xxxx

I'd inform IR there a tel no (on their website) quite soon (you have to within 3 months of earning)

I would inform your household Ins
Check that your car Ins covers for business use
I think you have to inform your mortgage company as well

Lots of luck

yep i did all that but with your insurance for the house beware one company cancelled mine on the spot!

Mine did too - now I think about it

Dont know if i am allowed to say but direct line do good insurance just in case you are in the uninsured position tomorrow.

I used the NCMA people

Thanks for advice. I have just looked on IR site and there are millions of numbers, does anyone know which one i call to start things off???xxxx

is it NCMA you want?

If so, NCMA Info Line is 0800 169 4486

to register as self employed

If your child benefit book is in your name - you might want to register as having a small income for NI purposes (as you will have home responsibilities protection)

I pay about £2 a week NI plus 7% of my profits as DH has the CB book
