But once you’ve earned more than £1,000 from self-employment in one tax year, you’ll need to file your tax return in the next tax year.
​

If you want to earn some quick cash before you go travelling, for instance, it’s important to keep a few things in mind:

  1. As soon as you have registered as a sole trader and have received an active Unique Taxpayers Reference (UTR) number you will be obliged to file your tax every six months. Even if you’ve only worked for a short period of time. Make sure you understand what taxes you will be facing.
    ​

  2. If you’d rather not fill in your tax declarations whilst you’re gone, you can do one of these things:

    1. Deactivate your UTR number by informing The HMRC of ending sole tradership through the Self Assessment portal or by calling them.

    2. Hire an accountant and authorise him/her to fill in the tax declaration on your behalf.

Do I have to delete my Temper profile when I’ll be away for a while?

No. You can keep your profile as it is and your previous shifts and ratings will be stored, so when you return you can get back to work right away.
