Tax as a remote worker

My primary source of income comes from an overseas company who I work remotely for (it's on a permanent basis but I'm not under a contract). I get paid every month, through TransferWise, in dollars. I also earn some income off royalty based products and some freelance creative jobs. I'm finding it quite complicated to set up a tax paying structure with this setup. Could you possibly give me some advice on how I could set up a tax paying structure with this way of working?

Read our blog on operating through a Sole prop versus Company.

Either route you choose, you would need to be registered as a provisional taxpayer in order to pay tax twice a year on your estimated earnings. Please read our blog on What is Provisional Tax? How and when? for further details.
