Hi people,
I have recently qualified as a pharmacist and am now working full time in hospital pharmacy in a permanent position, however I do a locum (community) as regularly as I can fit into my timetable. My issue is whether I should be declaring myself as self-employed or not? I am a bit confused


Any help/advice would be appreciated. I have heard/and read that I should declare myself self-employed within 3 months to avoid paying a fine, but at the same time it was suggested to me to not declare self-employed status as I would be paying a second bout of NI when I am not required to do so.
Thanks again
