Employment declaration

jobdone1

Need some advice please 🙏 I'm full time employed PAYE in the lower tax bracket.  I started working as a casual coach driver and invoicing the company for the work that I do.  What is best for me ? To declare self employment or become freelance as I do this work for two companies. Further this am I entitled to claim expenses and fuel allowance to and from the place of work ? Expenses for example, medicals maintaing licences ect. Many thanks in advance.

I am a bit of a novice at all this as I have never done any form of self assessment as such. I thought freelance was set up a business give myself a business name etc and self employed was just declare earnings, is there a difference on what allowable expenses you can claim for example. Forgive me being new to this 👍
