UK freelancers are being advised to reconsider part-time PAYE jobs, even if they already run their own business. Accountant Claire Owen-Jones highlights that many freelancers take on part-time roles for financial security, social interaction, or to top up personal pensions.

Whether operating as a sole trader or through a Limited Company, freelancers can optimize tax allowances and maintain self-employment income while benefiting from regular PAYE pay. Proper record-keeping and self-assessment are key to avoiding double taxation and managing National Insurance contributions.
