I'll try keep it short and sweet. I'm self employed and make slap bang in the middle of the first tax band. What tax should I be paying? I was looking at this calculator (see here: salary-calculator.org.uk ) but I was told by someone the rules are different for self-employed wages. Anyone else have any idea what I will pay? Do I have to go talk to (see: pay them to tell me 2 words) someone who actually knows what they're on about?

Hope I haven't put anyone to sleep lol.
cheers!

Yes, best to use an accountant. Receiving a salary from a business is different to being self-employed (freelance).
Find a good one and they will also help you structure things correctly for the future - incorporating is good for liability shielding among other things.
