PS.  Do you have to report Permitted Work earnings to Child Tax Credits?????

Yes, it's taxable income.

The OP hasn't been active since May so you may not get a reply.

But I have a choice between becoming a sole trader, and being a director of a limited company. I'm advised by the accountant to do the latter.

of course they would advise that, it's more money for them in accounting fees. sole trader/self employed person you dont even need an accountant. A Ltd you're looking at minimum £600 in accouting costs.

it's more pertinent that you tell us what sort of business you're pursueing so I can suggest the best structure.
