Question about business names on Tax Self Assessment

xxxpinkladyxxx

I'm just doing my first ever online self assessment. One of the things is:

Please provide us with the name of your business(es)

Although I'm self-employed, I'm technically like a contractor. I work for 3 different agencies, who provide me with work, I invoice them at the end of the month and they pay me. So they aren't my companies. Do I put their company names in those boxes or mine or leave them blank?

Also, where it asks if it was a partnership, do I put no, because I'm just a contractor for them?

There are many posts to this forum that use words (eg. self-employed, company, employee) that have very specific meanings but are often used incorrectly, sometimes resulting in the wrong advice being given.

So, to be 100% clear, when you say that you invoice these 3 agencies, do they all pay you in full without deducting any tax or national insurance?

Yes, they pay me in full, no deductions.

It means the name of your sole trade business - just put your own name in the box if you don't have a trading name.
