Your explanation earned You a new subscriber. I typed into Google and YT things like self-assessment, starting business masterclass, etc. One of the first things I opened was this video. A long time ago I had an unsuccesfull business and as preparation I attended half day course and purchased 30 pounds worth book. Within Your 15-minute video I gained more knowledge than from that course. And I am talking from a perspective of already having a bit of experience.
One question, please! Is NVIDIA a safe buy to outperform the market this year? I'm tired of these new buys every week, just to make up some assets with a low percentage on my $236k portfolio and try to keep everything around 10%.

Here in england people need it explaining to them that the taxman is not a fiendly person to be trusted and nor do you want to be inviting them into your life. If you go so far as trying to reason that the government is unethical and does things with your money you might not agree with you will be met with resistance and fear
As an accountant; I do not let any of my clients trade as self employed. My clients all operate with a UK limited company and are on the payroll of that plus dividends. I charge £515 a year for the limited company accounts and corporate tax computation and confirmation statement and personal tax return. This puts them in a better position if they need to sign on and/or claim Universal Credit in the future.
To be clear for people who do not know. ..an accountant cant force a particular structure on anyone for their business. They can only advise after giving an unbiased fact based view of the alternatives . Not all people/businesses have the same concerns or needs. Accountants are professional ADVISORS.
That makes sense. We're being pushed off WFTC and I can't see anyway of separating business income from our "own" money without creating a limited company. We make almost all our income at Christmas. It's not savings. We have to pay rent, rates and utilities on our workshop all year round. Our income and expenses are actually fairly predictable if you look at them annually. We've been doing this for 25+ years! It wouldn't be a problem to plan what we pay ourselves.
@@GlasPthalocyanine open a separate bank account and/ or have a separate credit card that you pay off 100% within the interest free period. Its tempting to over complicate things.🙂
@@GlasPthalocyanine As an accountant, you must be crazy not using a limited company. You use the word "we" so implicates there are more than one of you. One of those could be made redundant and get unemployment benefit during the slack period. Dividends are investment income, not earned income. Think about it ! Running a small business in these times, with red tape and government policies is hard and one has to protect ones self and be flexible for situations.
HMRC have got me and my brother completely mixed up and are claiming I owe them 20k in unpaid tax. I have all the proof they are wrong and they're claiming I still need to pay them even if they're wrong. Its unbelievably stressful they won't help at all. I'm considering legal options for the amount of stress they've caused (and the fact they've breached GDPR by failing to keep mine and my brothers data secure, their mistake revealed his financial details to me).
About 15 years ago I foolishly decided to complete my self assessment and submit it in July, which I now regret. I believe they investigated me because I submitted it too early and they had nothing better to do.
The tax code seems overly complex, making it difficult to identify the most tax-efficient strategies for my income and investments. Are there resources available to help me understand relevant deductions and credits that could maximize my after-tax returns?
You're right, the code can be a beast. There are definitely resources available to help you understand deductions and credits. The IRS website has a wealth of information, but for a more personalized approach, consider consulting with a tax advisor who specializes in investments. They can help you identify strategies that maximize your after-tax returns.
One of my goals is to employ the service of an asset-manager this year. I've seen some off social media but wasn't able to get a response. Could you recommend one?
You missed out ticking 'yes' to the question about whether you've used estimates in the figures in the tax return. If those estimates are not corrected by actual figures before the enquiry window closes, HMRC will start an enquiry into the estimates used.
1 Know the rules 2 Submit your return in good time 3 Make full use of appropriate expenses claim (many people don’t) 4 Keep good records. The majority of people don’t make best use of the tax rules
A significant number of HMRC enquiries are just random. Ticking "No" to any of those boxes at the start can also trigger an enquiry if HMRC are aware it should have been Yes. A review of the return is NOT an enquiry as HMRC are allowed to correct clear errors on the return such as adding up two boxes incorrectly.
as a self employed person i see lots of information of car allowances of commuting you cannot claim. But i am still unsure if i can claim a percentage for car expenses excluding fuel of course. As in road tax, repair costs, insurance etc. i do not use the car for business other than to and from work.
No. Unless it is a business owned vehicle your costs are limited to the approved mileage rate for business use. That would exclude commuting to your normal place of work.
Thanks for sharing. What happens if someone has NOT included finances in their Wise online merchant bank account for the last 3 years (might be connected to inheritance issues), and includes England and Spain?
Question: for 2022/23 if taxable income is between £6725 and £11908 Class 2 is paid for me and I pay nothing and my pension record is full for that year. If I fall below £6725 I don't have to pay, but I do have to make a voluntary contribution of £162.80 if I want my record to be full (which is crazy). If I declare £6730 will that be a red flag to them as I have cleared the threshold by a fiver and saved money? If my receipts are over £6725 but my allowable expenses take it below, I am not obliged by the rules to claim those expenses am I?
I’m a professional in my area of business and get paid well for it.. an accountant is a professional in this area so my advice is use an accountant it’s the best money you’ll spend 💯
A lot to be said for that but I'd make two points. 1. Accountants are much like lawyers in that you have to do most of the work for them anyway. 2. For a lot of people the cost of hiring an accountant isn't justified by the amount they make.
General principle is not to take the piss - ie don't claim to live on a pittance or have a huge amount of expenses even if both are true. A lot of people fall foul of the latter. In terms of time, work, stress and often expense involved in a full investigation you're better off underdeclaring exes and paying a bit more to avoid being flagged. Unfair yes, but that's life. I got wildcat audited several years ago and it's not fun. If it happens to you, don't make my mistake - take someone along with you, even if it's just a friend, so you have a witness at the interviews. Some agents have a vindictive streak and see themselves as "tough cops"...
@@gatekeeperboxing5898 Basically they realised early in the first interview that I was legit but seemed to have to cover their backsides by trying to intimidate me. Eventually I said I wanted the case kicked up to a supervisor, who was apologetic but I did agree to pay a couple of hundred quid "correction" just to make the hassle go away. I didn't actually agree with their reassessment but I didn't care by that point. Literally things like slapping down a picture of the front of my small home, photographed from the street (pre Google era), and saying "are you asking us to believe that you don't have a lodger paying cash?" And you have to play yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir with them. I repeat - take a witness. it's not so much about being able to keep your cool, it's about not having to put up with unreasonable treatment.
What about if you take the £2k director dividend (I believe it’s tax free) and no other income from an Ltd AND you have a full time PAYE salary. Is that also ‘no income from the LTD’
I do this. I have a full-time job and I am the director of a limited company at the same time. The limited company has no employees and pays no wages. All profit is paid as corporation tax and dividends. HMRC have never had a problem with it, but I read that the tax free limit on dividends is going to be reduced over the next few years anyway.
I declare my directorship on my self assessment, even though it isn't paying a salary. In the video he says it isn't necessary, but, the tax return asks if I'm a director, and I am, so I put yes. Then under income I put zero, and I put my dividends in the dividends box. It's pretty simple.
Hi PJ, I'm in exactly the same situation, having gone from outside to inside IR35 so taxed at source I also get £2,000 dividends from a side hustle but no income. Thanks for clarifying
I fall into the same thing like you, I find it extremely difficult and frustrating at times, i am so confused each and every time I get one, with it being online nowadays, it is just as difficult and frustrating, leaving me feeling really anxious, and sometimes trying to get through to them is a very stressful, difficult and frustrating process, am thinking nowadays is self employed really worth it?
The rule is "pay your tax". If acting in good faith you probably won't have anything to worry about. If they know something they will get their money one way or another. Remember that you have drug dealers earning 50k+ and paying no tax. They won't get away with this forever. You making a mistake that means a few quid here or there doesn't make a great deal of difference to any one.@@markeystephen3074
I am an employee paying PAYE and NI. I have never filled in a self assessment form but I might just have to next year. I have some dividends. I know i have to pay 8.75% on anything above £500. It seems I have to answer all these questions which seem irrelevant to me.
Move your shares into an Stocks and Shares ISA. Dividends are then tax free. You may be able to do this in a single transaction ie sell and buy at the same moment pretty much. If you exceed your allowance for capital gains for that year then you’ll have to pay that tax but that is a fair amount per year.
the question regarding 'were you an employee.... it also states agency worker. if i have been paid through a construction company direct with CIS & worked for an agency who paid me through CIS via a payroll company.. what should i tick>?
Property Rental Income changed because of Form 17 split between married couple (from 100/0 to 50/50%).

PLEASE HELP! Does this mean i dont need to do self assessment after all??? I talked with an accountant, he said: As long as you remain a non UK resident, if you pay yourself dividend, the dividend income is classed as disregarded income. Therefore, as long as you have no other UK income, you will not pay tax on the dividend you receive from the company and you will not need to complete self assessment
Can I correct a point made on the number of sales? You aren't limited to 30 sales before paying tax, however there's a £1,000 income tax allowance. Platforms are however, required to notify HMRC of sellers makes more than 30 sales in 12 months. That's not an issue as long as the seller makes less than £1,000, in sales (not profits).
If I'm employed by Company A, and at the same time run my own Company B (which I don't take a salary from, but occasionally a dividend), am I correct in thinking this isn't self employed in the eyes of HMRC? I am currently declaring both.
🤣🤣🤣🤣best question! i see future monetization in someone printing a comprehensive dictionary on different words to express God knows what meaning, in taxation terminology😁. For example, I consider myself very lucky to come across this video, as I nearly submitted the thing, with answering NO to self employment, which obviously is wrong, since I still made some profit, but under 1000; as a matter of fact, I dont even see the point of the question anymore, since it is a MUST to declare anyway the income( be it even ZERO) from self income, so that the ALGORITHM😂😂😂😂 can succeed to bring out the amount of tax owed for both employment and self-employment... Or maybe I am wrong? How can something so simple become so confusing? And why? What is the purpose?

Hello: thanks for this video. What if you are employed in the UK but you also have a job with a previous employer in a foreign country but you still work for that employer when you reside in the UK? How would that be entered in the self-assessment?
Brilliant channel and content!! Quick question for you, every year there is an allowance for capital gain, and I think the way it's explained on HMRC website is not 100% clear regarding what to do. If your capital gain is below that allowance you don't have to pay taxes but, do you have to declare it? Even if you are not required to do the tax return for other reasons, would that mean that whatever is your capital gain you will now have to submit a self assessment and if the amount you earned is below that allowance HRMC simply says... ok you are good
If you're in self assessment and hmrc has sent you a notice that they expect you to file a return, you have to do regardless of your income. Now, being in self assessment doesn't necessarily means being self-employed. You can be paye and still be expected to file a return. But if you have self employment income, even if it is less than 12500 you 100% have to declare it because if you don't, the revenue has no other way of finding out. Hope it makes sense.
If you go to Page 3 of the core return, your state pension is entered in Box 8. With respect to private pensions, the amount before tax is entered in Box 11 and the tax deducted in Box 12.

thank you for explaining this but i run a separate RUclips channel (uk based) that recently (3 weeks ago) got monetized id like to know: 1) how do i register this (self employed) , 2) do i need to file a tax return right away or wait till April 2023? 3) HOW do i fill this out as being a youtuber is my ONLY job.
I have videos covering most of these points on my channel if you find that an easier way to learn. Congrats on the youtube channel. As you have just started earning that self employment would likely fall into the 22/23 tax year which doesn't finish until 5th April 2023 and the tax return wouldn't be due until 31 January 2024 so you have plenty of time to research. Check out the other videos on my channel because i have a full tutorial on both registering as self employed and completing the self assessment tax return.
@@tax2ulimited Great video, thanks very much! I have subscribed! I have a couple of questions that I hope you will be able to answer: 1. With the question "Did you incorrectly claim an amount of coronavirus support payment?" What do you do if you didn't claim any coronavirus support payments? It does not appear to be an optional question, so I assume you tick no, rather than just not ticking anything? 2. On the final page just before you submit the return it says "I declare that I have included all coronavirus support payments that I have received" "You do not need to complete this box if your only support payments received were as a result of being furloughed as an employee". This box IS optional, so would I be correct in assuming if you did not receive any coronavirus support payments that you can ignore this question and not tick the box? Thanks for you help!! Cheers. :)
Thank you so much for your hard work! 😊 I’ve got a question: 🤨 I have these words 🤨. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Not sure how to use them, would appreciate help. 🙏
What I get from this, if they already know about money don't be stupid and try lying. If there's money they can't know about, don't tell them. And don't say any more than you need to tick the boxes and keep the computer happy. HMRC are so short staffed they don't look at incomes under £100k. Because whatever they might recover would not pay for the extra work involved.
but they also have computer programs that look at the average income vs costs for particular fields, and if yours is well out the software will flag it
That’s a good summary… what they don’t know about… less is more etc. I guess to avoid being picked up on the algorithm you need to avoid big fluctuations year on year 😊 Where did the £100k threshold come from though…
if you send your return through the post send it recorded delivery because they tell you you submitted late and fine you 100 pound ,i posted in may and they told me they did not receive it till January the following year

If you're filling in the self employed pages, there's already boxes to list expenses incurred in your trade. If you're really not sure what you're doing, consider using an accountant. I frequently encounter people who have saved a few hundred quid by doing it themselves and cost themselves thousands in tax by doing so.

Your employer should supply you with the Form P60 just after the fiscal year ends. The information you require will be on that Form. If you leave your employment before the end of the fiscal year, then your previous employer should give you the Form P45 which has the necessary information on it.
I have heard if your property income is less than 12000 pounds ( personal allowance) then you will be exempted to pay tax to HMRC. Is this correct? Or I have been mistaken?
Depends on what other income you have. If you also have a salary of £20,000, for example, then you will be paying income tax at 20% on your property income.
That is true, but if you earn any income over £10k you still need to let HMRC know, although as you say you will pay no tax if this is your only income.
If you earn over 100k a year in UK is there any ways to claim money back at all for all the taxes you pay ? It’s employed work one office no uniforms or out ?
Your gross income would have been £13,750 with tax deducted of £2,750. Obviously, to get a partial refund of that tax, you will need to complete a self assessment tax return.
In 07/08 I was ""fined" £100 for filing late. Under the bill of rights act 1688/89 section 12 only a court can issue a fine, and I pointed this out.

Thank you in advance and more power to your channel. Very helpful 👍
You'll have to apply for self assessment. Then you fill in the employment section using your P60 for the relevant tax year and fill in the self employment section with the turnover from your RUclips channel. The turnover is relevant to the 2022/23 tax year, which ends 5th April 2023.

You missed out ticking 'yes' to the question about whether you've used estimates in the figures in the tax return. If those estimates are not corrected by actual figures before the enquiry window closes, HMRC will start an enquiry into the estimates used.
1 Know the rules 2 Submit your return in good time 3 Make full use of appropriate expenses claim (many people don’t) 4 Keep good records. The majority of people don’t make best use of the tax rules
A significant number of HMRC enquiries are just random. Ticking "No" to any of those boxes at the start can also trigger an enquiry if HMRC are aware it should have been Yes. A review of the return is NOT an enquiry as HMRC are allowed to correct clear errors on the return such as adding up two boxes incorrectly.
Super clear and helpful! Love how you broke this down into segments too. Thank you!
as a self employed person i see lots of information of car allowances of commuting you cannot claim. But i am still unsure if i can claim a percentage for car expenses excluding fuel of course. As in road tax, repair costs, insurance etc. i do not use the car for business other than to and from work.
No. Unless it is a business owned vehicle your costs are limited to the approved mileage rate for business use. That would exclude commuting to your normal place of work.
Thanks for sharing. What happens if someone has NOT included finances in their Wise online merchant bank account for the last 3 years (might be connected to inheritance issues), and includes England and Spain?
Question: for 2022/23 if taxable income is between £6725 and £11908 Class 2 is paid for me and I pay nothing and my pension record is full for that year. If I fall below £6725 I don't have to pay, but I do have to make a voluntary contribution of £162.80 if I want my record to be full (which is crazy). If I declare £6730 will that be a red flag to them as I have cleared the threshold by a fiver and saved money? If my receipts are over £6725 but my allowable expenses take it below, I am not obliged by the rules to claim those expenses am I?
I’m a professional in my area of business and get paid well for it.. an accountant is a professional in this area so my advice is use an accountant it’s the best money you’ll spend 💯
A lot to be said for that but I'd make two points. 1. Accountants are much like lawyers in that you have to do most of the work for them anyway. 2. For a lot of people the cost of hiring an accountant isn't justified by the amount they make.
you cart even trigger them to answer the phone.
I always like to add a little joke in the white space for the person checking my tax return :)
General principle is not to take the piss - ie don't claim to live on a pittance or have a huge amount of expenses even if both are true. A lot of people fall foul of the latter. In terms of time, work, stress and often expense involved in a full investigation you're better off underdeclaring exes and paying a bit more to avoid being flagged. Unfair yes, but that's life.
I got wildcat audited several years ago and it's not fun. If it happens to you, don't make my mistake - take someone along with you, even if it's just a friend, so you have a witness at the interviews. Some agents have a vindictive streak and see themselves as "tough cops"...
So what happened that made you want to have someone else there in future ?
@@gatekeeperboxing5898 Basically they realised early in the first interview that I was legit but seemed to have to cover their backsides by trying to intimidate me. Eventually I said I wanted the case kicked up to a supervisor, who was apologetic but I did agree to pay a couple of hundred quid "correction" just to make the hassle go away. I didn't actually agree with their reassessment but I didn't care by that point.
Literally things like slapping down a picture of the front of my small home, photographed from the street (pre Google era), and saying "are you asking us to believe that you don't have a lodger paying cash?" And you have to play yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir with them.
I repeat - take a witness. it's not so much about being able to keep your cool, it's about not having to put up with unreasonable treatment.
What about if you take the £2k director dividend (I believe it’s tax free) and no other income from an Ltd AND you have a full time PAYE salary. Is that also ‘no income from the LTD’
I do this. I have a full-time job and I am the director of a limited company at the same time. The limited company has no employees and pays no wages. All profit is paid as corporation tax and dividends. HMRC have never had a problem with it, but I read that the tax free limit on dividends is going to be reduced over the next few years anyway.
I declare my directorship on my self assessment, even though it isn't paying a salary. In the video he says it isn't necessary, but, the tax return asks if I'm a director, and I am, so I put yes. Then under income I put zero, and I put my dividends in the dividends box. It's pretty simple.
Hi PJ, I'm in exactly the same situation, having gone from outside to inside IR35 so taxed at source
I also get £2,000 dividends from a side hustle but no income.
Thanks for clarifying
The rules are so complex. Who understands them ?
No-one really, it's designed like this to push people to be PAYE employees.
I fall into the same thing like you, I find it extremely difficult and frustrating at times, i am so confused each and every time I get one, with it being online nowadays, it is just as difficult and frustrating, leaving me feeling really anxious, and sometimes trying to get through to them is a very stressful, difficult and frustrating process, am thinking nowadays is self employed really worth it?
The rule is "pay your tax". If acting in good faith you probably won't have anything to worry about. If they know something they will get their money one way or another. Remember that you have drug dealers earning 50k+ and paying no tax. They won't get away with this forever. You making a mistake that means a few quid here or there doesn't make a great deal of difference to any one.@@markeystephen3074
I am an employee paying PAYE and NI. I have never filled in a self assessment form but I might just have to next year. I have some dividends. I know i have to pay 8.75% on anything above £500. It seems I have to answer all these questions which seem irrelevant to me.
Move your shares into an Stocks and Shares ISA. Dividends are then tax free.
You may be able to do this in a single transaction ie sell and buy at the same moment pretty much. If you exceed your allowance for capital gains for that year then you’ll have to pay that tax but that is a fair amount per year.

Brilliant - what do you do with loans on self assesment if your a sole trader.
I had 5 employments,using utr number.do I still answer no for first question.And yes for self employment?
Very useful / my first year of self assessment form without a financial advisor
PLEASE HELP! Does this mean i dont need to do self assessment after all??? I talked with an accountant, he said: As long as you remain a non UK resident, if you pay yourself dividend, the dividend income is classed as disregarded income. Therefore, as long as you have no other UK income, you will not pay tax on the dividend you receive from the company and you will not need to complete self assessment
So can a person who is just employed by someone or an organisation submit a self assessment return?
Yes
I claimed for uniform food travel to work ect I’m not self employed , a while later I started getting fine letters from hmrc . I don’t know why?

Can I correct a point made on the number of sales? You aren't limited to 30 sales before paying tax, however there's a £1,000 income tax allowance.

What is a 'Tax Avoidance Scheme'?
🤣🤣🤣🤣best question! i see future monetization in someone printing a comprehensive dictionary on different words to express God knows what meaning, in taxation terminology😁. For example, I consider myself very lucky to come across this video, as I nearly submitted the thing, with answering NO to self employment, which obviously is wrong, since I still made some profit, but under 1000; as a matter of fact, I dont even see the point of the question anymore, since it is a MUST to declare anyway the income( be it even ZERO) from self income, so that the ALGORITHM😂😂😂😂 can succeed to bring out the amount of tax owed for both employment and self-employment... Or maybe I am wrong? How can something so simple become so confusing? And why? What is the purpose?
Thanks, this was good. Nice and clear.

If I registered myself as a a self employed in 2021 and in last year stop trading so my turnover was less than 1000 pound , do I need declare for example 500 turnover from self-employed in my self assessment, or just skip that part ?
Does company director "benefits" include dividends from that company even if no salary is paid, or would that already be asked esewhere on the return?
If you look at the Employment pages, at the bottom of the page you will find find boxes for Company Cars and Vans, Fuel for company cars and vans, Private medical and dental insurance. These are the benefits and normally come from the Form P11D.
Hello: thanks for this video. What if you are employed in the UK but you also have a job with a previous employer in a foreign country but you still work for that employer when you reside in the UK? How would that be entered in the self-assessment?

Brilliant channel and content!!
Quick question for you, every year there is an allowance for capital gain, and I think the way it's explained on HMRC website is not 100% clear regarding what to do.
If your capital gain is below that allowance you don't have to pay taxes but, do you have to declare it? Even if you are not required to do the tax return for other reasons, would that mean that whatever is your capital gain you will now have to submit a self assessment and if the amount you earned is below that allowance HRMC simply says... ok you are good
If you're in self assessment and hmrc has sent you a notice that they expect you to file a return, you have to do regardless of your income. Now, being in self assessment doesn't necessarily means being self-employed. You can be paye and still be expected to file a return. But if you have self employment income, even if it is less than 12500 you 100% have to declare it because if you don't, the revenue has no other way of finding out. Hope it makes sense.
@@bilyanahristova3183 As far as I know if it is less than £1000 you do not have to complete a tax return at all.
I have to do a self Assessment due to having a rental income. Where does the tax that I have already paid on my pensions go on the form. Thank you.

3) HOW do i fill this out as being a youtuber is my ONLY job.
I have videos covering most of these points on my channel if you find that an easier way to learn. Congrats on the youtube channel. As you have just started earning that self employment would likely fall into the 22/23 tax year which doesn't finish until 5th April 2023 and the tax return wouldn't be due until 31 January 2024 so you have plenty of time to research.

@@tax2ulimited Great video, thanks very much! I have subscribed! I have a couple of questions that I hope you will be able to answer:
1. With the question "Did you incorrectly claim an amount of coronavirus support payment?" What do you do if you didn't claim any coronavirus support payments? It does not appear to be an optional question, so I assume you tick no, rather than just not ticking anything?
2. On the final page just before you submit the return it says "I declare that I have included all coronavirus support payments that I have received" "You do not need to complete this box if your only support payments received were as a result of being furloughed as an employee". This box IS optional, so would I be correct in assuming if you did not receive any coronavirus support payments that you can ignore this question and not tick the box?
Thanks for you help!!

No, if you are working and paid via PAYE, you do not have to fill in a tax return as long as you have no other income that exceeds £1000.

There is a question about when you ceased trading early on in the Assesment
Or just call them and tell them.
You have to do both. I answered the question about ceasing trading but got a £100 fine for not completing a self assessment the next time around.
@@ceribinding4222 you should appeal the penalty.
What I get from this, if they already know about money don't be stupid and try lying. If there's money they can't know about, don't tell them. And don't say any more than you need to tick the boxes and keep the computer happy.
HMRC are so short staffed they don't look at incomes under £100k. Because whatever they might recover would not pay for the extra work involved.
but they also have computer programs that look at the average income vs costs for particular fields, and if yours is well out the software will flag it
That’s a good summary… what they don’t know about… less is more etc. I guess to avoid being picked up on the algorithm you need to avoid big fluctuations year on year 😊

No need to panic. If and when you seel, you simply need to pay tax on the capital gain , if any gain happes at the moment you sell.
In the blank space where I can add stuff - is it helpful to explain roughly what my expenses were (e.g. as a tattoo artist I bought tattoo machines and ink)? Or is it useless information?
If you're filling in the self employed pages, there's already boxes to list expenses incurred in your trade.
If you're really not sure what you're doing, consider using an accountant.
I frequently encounter people who have saved a few hundred quid by doing it themselves and cost themselves thousands in tax by doing so.

Where do you tell HMRC how much money you earned through PAYE??
Your employer should supply you with the Form P60 just after the fiscal year ends. The information you require will be on that Form.
If you leave your employment before the end of the fiscal year, then your previous employer should give you the Form P45 which has the necessary information on it.
Why would anyone avoiding tax then tell hmrc thry are avoiding tax!!
Heard of turkeys voting for Christmas?
someone people just like telling ..
I have heard if your property income is less than 12000 pounds ( personal allowance) then you will be exempted to pay tax to HMRC. Is this correct? Or I have been mistaken?
Depends on what other income you have. If you also have a salary of £20,000, for example, then you will be paying income tax at 20% on your property income.
That is true, but if you earn any income over £10k you still need to let HMRC know, although as you say you will pay no tax if this is your only income.
If you earn over 100k a year in UK is there any ways to claim money back at all for all the taxes you pay ? It’s employed work one office no uniforms or out ?

Your gross income would have been £13,750 with tax deducted of £2,750. Obviously, to get a partial refund of that tax, you will need to complete a self assessment tax return.

You'll have to apply for self assessment. Then you fill in the employment section using your P60 for the relevant tax year and fill in the self employment section with the turnover from your RUclips channel. The turnover is relevant to the 2022/23 tax year, which ends 5th April 2023.
