    will you be a musician too?
  • You can only claim WTC if your income to March 06 says you qualify.

    To become self-employed you must register with the Inland Revenue as self-employed and start to pay your own NI contributions.

    You would need to be working over 16 hours per week to qualify for WTC anyway.
