If I'm a freelance translator, and I translate from English to German or vice versa, am I considered to be self-employed and do I have to register and pay tax?
I do not have an office, nor do I do any bookkeeping. I get paid in cash (for instance, I charge £20 per hour, and if I translated for 2 hours, I'll get £40 on that particular day).
I advertise my services in newspapers and sometimes I go on for 2 days without anyone calling me, and sometimes I translate for 3 days in a row. I earn about £800 a month. I'm just not quite sure if I should register as self-employed here in Britain?
