Resolved Question
Will being self employed affect my future?
I am a part time student and cant get a job that fits around my timetable, but want the extra cash (and to keep myself busy)
so my friend recommended me becoming a text chat operator, which im fine with.
iv sent off for the pack etc. and iv been accepted and have to send certain documents (inc. a copy of my driving licence)
i also have to declare myself as self employed and do my own taxes, again im fine with that
but i was wondering if in future when i get a proper job will my new employees be able to see what work i did when self employed?
as i feel that if people in the field i want to go into knew i did text chat lines i wouldnt get a top job, or would be prejudged.
also, another point id like to make is how likely is it that the company will keep personal information private (for example the fact i actually worked for them?)
thankyou

There is no way a future employer could find out about your self-employment, unless you tell them. HMRC certainly won't. If you start a new job, there will no form P45, so you should ask new employer for, and you should sign, form P46. There is no mention of self-employment on that form, so you could get personal tax-free allowance at job, and pay tax on all your self-employed earnings
There is no guarantee about what the company will disclose, or who to. There would however be no connection to any new employer unless you asked for a reference from company, and I wouldn't suggest you did that. You should be very wary about what documentation you send this company in these days of identity theft, so be very careful. If you are doing text chats, why on earth would they need your driving licence? In that line of business, it is not likely they would need to check to see if you are an illegal immigrant.

They may actually look on the fact you became self-employed as a good thing as it shows enterprise and an eagerness to work.
Also if you don't tell them, you will not be able to provide a working reference or perhaps show that you have previous work experience.
The company you are working for should not divulge your information due to the Data Protection Act unless they have stated in the paperwork somewhere that they will will do this. Check your paperwork thoroughly.
