So I was made redundant from my previous job start of August, I was not aware that you have to sign up to job seekers and universal credit when you are made redundant, however after 2 weeks of being unemployed I signed up for both. Fortunately within a few days, I got a job offer, received a call to see if I qualify for job seekers etc, but I said I just got a new job and that was that, they just said good luck.
I'm to be classed as self employed for my first 3 months at my new job, I am going to be office administrator type role, however due to the self employed part, I needed to get a UTR number, I was aware I needed this, but as I never heard of it before, my manager asked if I had one when I brought in my paperwork etc and that's when I applied online. My manager sort of explained it to me and what it does with tax etc, I understand it abit, not alot, but I think I understand as much as I need to know. I asked what do I have to do on my end that's different to a normal wage and he said nothing, just the tax deduction may be different to what it would be usually. After the 3 months, I will receive pay as normal.
My current issue is that I am still not entirely certain with what I have to do with my wage that comes in via the UTR number. I understand that I have to do something regarding my own tax at the end of the tax year, calculate all my salary to make sure I have been taxed the correct amount. When I no longer require the UTR, which will probably be after the 3 months, whether I get the job or not, I will inform the HMRC, but what do I do after that?
