New to self employment in Jan 2023.

Hi all, 

I have had to register for self assessment in January this year as I became self-employed from a job where I was on the books. So now I've had a letter asking for me to fill in the tax return for 2022-23 tax year. 

My question is, when I come to put down how much I've earned in the tax year, do I put down JUST what I have earned in my self-employed job (i.e. January to April), or do I put down all my earnings for the whole year?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

You enter in all your income for the 12 months split between 2 entries (by adding income from a second employment for your self employment to the 1st declaration when you were employed).

To add to the above, you'll also be asked to enter how much income tax you've paid during 2022-23.  This avoids you paying the tax twice.  It's best to take the PAYE figures from the 2022-23 P60 you would have received by now.

You need to tick that you have self employment and employment.

On the self employed pages you enter your self employed income/expenditure.

Ont the employment pages your enter your total employment income for the year and also the amount of tax deducted. t
These details will be on any P45 you recEIved at the end of your employment or on your P60.
