I've started picking up some freelance research work alongside my full-time job working for NHS Scotland in project management, and I'm a bit confused about whether I need to register as a Sole Trader or not.
The criteria on this page aren't relevant to me https://www.gov.uk/set-up-sole-trader, so can I skip registering as an ST and just submit a tax return next January? I'll be earning more than £1,000 in my freelance work, on top of a ~£30k salary.
Reading it again, I think I do need to register as an ST, but it's just the usual HMRC gibberish writing - though any advice appreciated!
