UK Tax Breakdown for the Self-Employed

One of the biggest worries for self-employed people is uncertainty: "How much tax do I actually owe?"

This page explains self-employed tax liabilities and how to stay in control throughout the year.

What taxes do self-employed people pay?

Most self-employed people pay:

  • Income Tax
  • Class 2 National Insurance
  • Class 4 National Insurance

How much you pay depends on:

  • Income
  • Allowable expenses
  • Timing of payments

Why guessing your tax bill is dangerous

  • You may spend money that belongs to HMRC
  • You underestimate liabilities
  • You face last-minute pressure
