Sounds like you need to get an accountant. They are quite cheap if you shop around. You may end up paying NI twice. Nick PHP/MySQL Tutorials [url]http://members.aol.com/nickjc67/phptutor.htm[/url]

you are both. Your employed for the company you work for and are self employed for your business. You should be ok on the NI front if you are a 'small earner' Barr Stevenson Chartered Accountant http:/www.our-accountants.co.uk

So if my current employer pays my tax and NI on, say £10k, then would I be alright earning another £3k from my part-time business, not needing to pay NI? Thanks, Richard

If your self employed profits are less than £4,745pa you don't pay any Class 4 NI. Class 2 is not payable if self employed earnings are less than £4,215pa Barr Stevenson Chartered Accountant http:/www.our-accountants.co.uk

The inland revenue may have told you this already but I think you need to apply for exemption from Class 2 NI contributions if you're earning less than £4,215 from your self-employment They have some notes about this here http://www.inlandrevenue.gov.uk/startingup/class2ni.htm click on the "But I'm not earning very much..." link You can also download their leaflet about NI contributions from here
