Hello, I have lived in the UK since 2020. Since that year until now I have had several jobs, some with an employment contract and others without an employment contract, the jobs without a contract were paid in cash in hand, they were short-term jobs cleaning houses as a bar staff, etc. ..
In 2022 I registered as self-employed to use that registration to pay taxes and social security based on my income in those jobs without a contract
But I procrastinated and abandoned the idea because I found a job with a contract and left it at that.
In December of last year my job stopped and I decided to do sex work in Germany, in Germany I am registered as a sex worker and I have to pay taxes there, my plan was to do sex work two weeks a month in Germany and two weeks here in the UK and pay taxes and pension in both countries separately.
Or pay the two weeks of taxes in Germany and four weeks in the UK even if it is only two, because I live mainly in the UK.
So far I have not done sex work in the UK but I am interested in doing it progressively here in the UK or paying full taxes here every month even if I only work half the month because I live here and use the public healthcare here.
A few days ago I received a penalty letter from HMRC for not submitting the 2023-2024 tax forms.
I want to put everything in order and I have written down on paper my income from those jobs without a contract and as a sex worker in Germany.
The penalty for not filing taxes is 100 pounds and I can pay it in installments.
After telling you my situation I wanted to know this:
Can I appeal the penalty by explaining to HMRC that I made a mistake and forgot how to access the HMRC website and then fill out forms 2022-2023 and 2023-2024?
If not, can I delete my HMRC registration and open a new one?
Somebody told me that the pension payment is 2.70 pounds per week, although I have paid pension on the contract jobs I had, I want to pay the total from when I arrive in the UK in 2020 until the last day of 2024, can I pay that amount in advance?
I have three private pensions because each employer enrolled me in a different one, and I want to unify them all into one, is it possible to pay in advance and pay everything from 2020 until now? What is the weekly amount to be paid for a private pension?
As I said, I have written down on paper everything I earn from my jobs without a contract and as a sex worker and I could divide everything between the two forms 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. How much should I pay in taxes for every 100 pounds earned?
