I am self employed and work as a beauty therapist from home. This was my first year in a new area so after outgoings I'm not bringing in more than my personal allowance.
Starting in January i took on a part time beauty therapist position in a hair salon doing 17 hours per week for minimum wage. Just something to get me meeting people and definite money coming in.
They told me that they would take 20% of my pay for tax but if i didn't reach my personal allowance the hmrc would give it back once I'd completed my tax return. Is that right?
It seemed to make sense.
Now they have asked if i would like to include my wages in my tax return for my self employed business instead of them doing it, so i pay less tax. Their accountant suggested this. Is that something that would actually save me money?
They also said i would not be entitled to holiday pay if i did this. That is 91 hours per year for me.
Does anyone with experience in this matter have any advise? X
