Hi Carla, It may be a case that you have not autenticated your UTR. You should have received an authentication code a couple of days after the UTR to go into your account and effectively activated the UTR. You can apply for another code to be sent and then when received, go into the gateway and enter the code. Normally within 72 hours, the ability to see Self Assessment will be on your account.

@@performanceaccountancy1285 Thankyou so much for your reply, how would I apply for another activation code? It gives me no options on my personal account to add self assessment?

They are treated as one business so you need to add together the gross fee income from FHL to get to the £85K.

@@performanceaccountancy1285 Thanks

If you have just filed yor tax return, you can get the SA302 (tax calculation showing 100%) within minutes of the filing. The tax year overview takes at least 72 hours for it to be available.

@@performanceaccountancy1285 alright thank you for your reply

Really sorry - No. The UK government too away the ability for people withhout those things to access the governemnt gateway. They are building a replacement, but no idea when that will come through. All you can do is call HMRC for them to make the change.

If you are self employed, you get a business tax account and a personal tax account. So have a look at the top of the screen as you will need to navigate to your pesonal tax account to get the SA302.

As a freelancer, you will probably be working then as a self employed person as you don't have a limited company. You will need to register as a self employed person which will set up a digital tax account. Registering for self employment will mean you end up with a personal tax account as a business tax account. The personal tax account will give you access to things like PAYE, NI, & pension information, and the business tax account will give you access to do your self assessment tax return and access to register for VAT if needed. You can toggle between the two accounts, so you only get one login. Louise

Thanks Louise! Didn’t expect you’re so efficient in answering my question. And you’ve helped clarify some of my doubts too! Many thanks! I’m now at the very initial stage of registering for a government gateway number first, but the hmrc link for self employed has directed me to the business tax account and let me create the gateway number there; but I know some people create the gateway number through applying for a personal tax account, then I find out from this personal tax account, I can also request self assessment for tax return. That’s why I wonder which means I should take now to create my gateway number. What’s your view?

@@funniemsf6102 It's kinda either/either. If you create the personal tax account you can then go and request self assessment and then link the two together ( there is a video on my channel on this) or you create the business one and you automatically get the personal one. So much of a muchness. You get to the same place in the end.

@@performanceaccountancy1285 thanks Louise! You’re really kind and helpful!!!!!!! And very selfless too! I’m sure you’re running a successful business and your clients must have benefited a lot from you!

hi There - HMRC deem water to be an incidental cost so is not part of the WFH allowance. If you were a hairdresser or dog groomer and water usage was integral to your business, then it could be included. The off flush & glass of water is not costed.

@@performanceaccountancy1285 thanks for quick reply I'm a used clothing seller the majority of clothing needs washing?? Surly that's same as hairdressing

@@darrendoolan5161 Hi Darren, you can claim in which case if you are on metered water, but not on water rates.

@@performanceaccountancy1285 ok thankyou much appreciated. Far to many people on here making vidios to help us all but when it comes to answering questions about the vidio they ignore you
