Hi
I am in the process of tendering for a job, providing a service. As part of the tender I have to provide a tax clearance certificate. This is where my problems begin!
I am a PAYE worker normally and obviously am fully tax compliant here. The job I am tendering for is obviously on my spare time and I would ne paying tax etc. on it but as it is my first paying job I don't have any previous tax history for it.
I was registered and working as a sole trader a few years back for about 6 months, (about 4 or 5 years ago) and I returned to PAYE work after the sole trader job finished. I would be fully tax compliant from that time also.
As far as I am aware, my sole trader entity was closed by my accountant when the job ended at that time.
So, what do I do now? Do I re-open my old sole trader entity? Do I create a new sole trader entity (as the business and trading name would now be different)? How do I get a tax clearance certificate? Would a PAYE version be sufficient to prove that I am tax compliant?
Any help would be appreciated.
