What’s it like being

a self-employed carer?

If you’ve never worked as a self-employed carer before, or are new to introductory agencies such as Introease, you’re likely to have some questions, we’ve answered some common ones here

What exactly is

self-employment?

In the simplest terms, self-employment means working for yourself, rather than an employer. It can give you greater control over things like when and where you work, as well as who you care for.

What exactly is

self-employment?

In the simplest terms, self-employment means working for yourself, rather than an employer. It can give you greater control over things like when and where you work, as well as who you care for.

Should you register

as a sole trader or limited company?

When you sign up with HMRC, they may ask if you’d like to be classed as a sole trader, or a limited company – which can be confusing

Sole Trader
A sole trader is simply a person who is self-employed, and who’s the sole owner of their business. As a self-employed carer – you are your business, and therefore becoming a sole trader is likely to be the most appropriate option for you. There’s far less paperwork too, as sole traders usually only need to submit an annual tax return.

Limited Company
Becoming a limited company gives your business its own separate identity, and while this can have its advantages, it also means more responsibility for you, and potentially more paperwork. A limited company classification is often something to consider further down the line, once you’re comfortable with self-employment, or have reached a certain level of earnings.

If you’re unsure what to register as, it’s best to give HMRC a call for some personalised advice.

Completing your first

self-assessment tax return

The deadline for completing your tax return and paying what you owe is the 31st January, and is the same each year.  

However, tax is calculated from April to April, rather than January to December. This means that you can complete your tax return any time after April each year – getting it out the way and giving yourself more time to pay.  

Your self-assessment tax return can be completed online through the Government website. The online form is split into various sections, and each question has an inbuilt prompt offering helpful information if you get stuck, or if you’re unsure how to answer.
