Re-registering as sole trader

catlover57

Hello I'm in employment (26 hrs) and also was self employed (sole trader) part time.
1 month ago I stopped being self employed, but due to circumstances can I re-register again?
Also in case it happens in the future do I need to register self employed if I'm earning less than £1000 but still employed (26hrs)?

There is no such thing as registering as as sole trader.  If you start trading, you are a sole trader.  If you informed HMRC that you had ceased trading, then tell them that you are now starting to trade again.

Thank you so I can just tell HMRC I've started to trade again.
Does anyone know the answer to my second question?
Also in case it happens in the future do I need to register self employed if I'm earning less than £1000 but still employed (26hrs)?

You do not have to inform HMRC if your turnover (not profit or earnings) is less than £1000.

Thank you Mistral, So I understand this clear.
My employed work is £14000 a year, and say I earned £750 (cash) a year house cleaning.
How would I declare my £750 earnings?

If you aren't required to do a self assessment tax return, you wouldn't declare sole trader earnings of £750.

But, when you say you told HMRC a month ago you were no longer going to do any self employed work, I'm surprised they don't want a 2023-24 tax return from you.

Thank you uknick
HMRC do want me to send a tax return.
The under £1000 question was for future ref only
