Been self employed for 10 months. How to pay tax?

I would advise against that approach. I've made quite a few boo-boos with taxes since coming to the UK, and the key to resolving them was always the fact that I nipped it in the bud, rather than waiting for them to find out and chase me up. Mistakes happen, especially when you sincerely didn't know better, and no one should be punished for it. But when you decide to just sit on this info, well, that is a different story.
Except OP has not done anything wrong here. If his employers insisted on paying him as self employed then not withstanding different rules on expenses (which seems to be a moot point), OP's only obligation is to declare the "self-employed" income to HMRC and pay tax on it, which he can do by filing his self assessment by next January.0
