So the only difference is NI right?
HMRC - 2023-2024 - Tax Returns?

Potentially - but it's actually a better scheme altogether, because your employer often passes over THEIR employer NI saving to you - and given NI has gone up, that may be material. It also theoretically affects how you report your salary when applying for credit etc. As you no longer earn 50k, you earn 40k with a 10k+"bonus" paid into your pension.
clients who are worriers may well have and will do so again if they dont feel they can live with the uncertainty...
I think so, so as I didn't start receiving it until April 6th this year it'll be my tax return around this time next year that I'll need to submit with figures owed for this tax year.
Currently it should be literally a couple of quid they need back, once that starts going up then I'll be doing some rough maths and putting that money aside throughout the year.
Take all of the above with a table of salt as I'm still trying to 100% get my head around it
Just FYI it mentions this in the budget document:
Sounds like you may possibly need to SA this year, but maybe able to adjust your tax code from April 2025.
not sure sorry, prob ages
nice, looks like i will be earning more for 24/25 based on what I have banked so far. Going to have to put a bit more aside, cut bills, reduce food intake for the kids and chop the wife's holiday plans
Just paid the £850 top-up I owe for last year (total bill was something like £5k). This year I am not doing an SA; just leaving it to PAYE. I know I owe them ~£2.1k before I even get started so put that away in Zopa. If they let me pay back through tax code I will (cut off is £3k IIRC).
Payments on account really **** me off. Why should we have to pay tax in advance?!?
Hard agree, lost investment gains, should charge interest like HMRC do
Is it from paye or self assessment? If it’s the latter, then you now need to log in to your HMRC account and request the refund.
Probably so that HMRC don't have to go chasing people who don't pay when they should.
There would be quite a few more chancers who'd run up a huge tax bill and then disappear I'm sure.
Just paid my first self-employed tax bill a couple of days ago after the accountant worked it all out for me, was a less than I expected, so quite happy really.

Done mine last night.
Took me a couple of days to collate all the paperwork and add up all the numbers but it didn’t take long once I’m in as mine is very simple.

What threshold is that?
IIRC it used to be mandatory to do a self assessment if your income exceeded £100k, that's now £150k
