I got asked if I was self-employed – I mean no I’m not of course (though perhaps I am for the purposes of my extra income?), should I be answering in the affirmative for that section?

There are only six questions on the page, surely you can see which one is for employees.

Thanks for this. Not sure what “the page” is. There are 25 or so questions about “Did you receive…” / “Are you…”. And given none of them really applied to me, I thought perhaps there was another section I should be filling in. Given this is a reasonably serious form, I thought it would be prudent to be sure before continuing.

Yes my extra income is separate from my normal work.

I asked a friend who has done the self-assessment who said I definitely wasn’t self-employed and that there should be somewhere obvious to fill in. But given I couldn’t see that…

Actually these two answers are slightly contradictory. Should I put Yes for both self-employeed and the “director, employee” etc question? My full-time employment is already taxed correctly…

Edit: Ok, I’ve put Yes for both of the above

you must fill in the full details of your PAYE employment

self assessment is about ALL your potentialy taxble income however obtained
