t first the HMRC requirements can appear complex,
especially if you have never been self-employed
before. Managing your accounts can be daunting
and confusing so here are a few tips to help you get
started:

HMRC REGISTRATION: you must register as self-employed by
October 5 after the end of your first tax year, but it’s generally
best to do this as soon as possible. If you are working for a gym or
studio, it may require sight of your Tax Reference – also known as a
UTR – before paying you. There is no legal requirement for this; it’s
merely the engaging organisation’s internal rules.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS: there is no legal requirement to
be a member of a professional yoga organisation, but some gyms
or studios may require it, or other accreditations, as part of their
internal rules.

INSURANCE: there is no legal requirement to hold insurance, but
again some gyms or studios may insist on it.

WORK PERMIT AND NI NUMBER: if you are not a UK national
check your right to work in the UK. Before working in the UK you will
probably need a NI number. An employer, studio or gym may require
sight of your work permit and/or passport.

Some things you do not need to do:
n Register with Companies House unless you decide to trade as a
limited company.

n Register your business name anywhere other than for buying a
website domain name. There is no business name registration
process in the UK anymore, but there are a lot of scams
purporting to be official registers.

In summary, the only mandatory requirements are: permission to
work in the UK and HMRC registration but gyms and studios may
have further internal requirements and for the most part you would
be advised to have insurances.
Once you get started as a yoga teacher you need to know about
record keeping.
In terms of money in from students for classes, and so forth, you
need to keep an accurate record of what you receive – and this can
be a pitfall for some teachers who get in a muddle. So long as there
is a robust income recording system, all will be fine.
In terms of money out for your expenses, the requirement is to be
able to evidence all expenses. If you can get a receipt or an invoice,
then do so. If not, evidence could be a credit card statement or
bank statement. If you spend cash on small items, such as a coffee
whilst travelling on business, then a quick record will suffice; send
yourself an email for example.
Finally, be aware of HMRCs Making Tax Digital process - from April
2019 you will need to keep your accounting records electronically
and send a summary to HMRC quarterly.
The best advice we can give is to cover as many expenses with
documentation as you can.
