    tax is based on your yearly income whether from PAYE or self employment

    you add it up to form the total

    the first 9440 is tax free
    the next 32010 is taxed at 20%
    thereafter at 40%


    NI works somewhat differently as each income is dealt with separately

    also if you are already earning as self employed you should have already total HMRC and be paying class 2 NI payments
