Provisional Tax Payer and not a Individual

  Written by Marc   Posted 27 November 2015

I'm about to do my first tax return, I'm registered as Individual tax payer but have been doing freelance work on an invoice basis. I did not realise that in this case I would need to be registered as a provisional tax payer instead. Am I correct in saying that I should be registered as a provisional tax payer?

What do I do regarding the outstanding IRP6's?...
