Relief milking and being employed

[Weasel]

Does anyone on here relief milk aswell as being employed somewhere? I'm thinking of doing a couple of nights a week and the odd weekend.

Either go on books at second job and be taxed accordingly or go self employed as your second job but you need to do a tax return at year end to satisfy the powers that be

All our reliefs work elsewhere but they are “guns for hire” and self employed or students earning a bit of beer money

I am employed during the week in agricultural sales and relief milk at weekends on a self employed basis. I do use an accountant to do my tax return as it can get a bit complex with including both employed and self employed income, but you could probably do it directly if you wanted to save the cost.
It would be worth letting your employer know of your intention to do some self employed work, as some job contracts have clauses about doing other work or total working hours depending on what your role is. I have never had an issue with this and have worked for a number of employers over the years from very large to small family owned businesses.

I do this, if going self employed, would thoroughly recommend the quickbooks app - made doing my end of year accounts so much easier - didn't need an accountant - although mine is fairly straight forward. If you owe less than £3,000 for the tax year you can pay the tax through the PAYE scheme with your regular employer in the following financial year. HMRC do this automatically unless you tell them otherwise so be aware if you'd rather pay up front.

Did 7 years of that, had full time job of 5 day week plus every other weekend, and on spare weekend milked some where else, never declared it, but at the same time never saw much money as was mainly paid in calves.
