Freelance HGV driving
Discussion
I have a C licence and know a few people that own companies in an industry that may need equipment occasionally moving on a rigid, they have asked if I am available to do this and they would be paying me for my time.
I have a full time job so doing this would be on an add hoc basis. To keep it above board I need to pay tax/NI on my earnings, how is the best way to do this? Having a google around, it seems I can be a casual employee, but then do I tell HMRC and I pay the tax as PAYE?
Of course the easiest way would be to not pay the tax, on what is probably £1000 a year. This is my preferred option but i'm not sure HMRC will be very happy if I did that.
Some have mentioned they have set up a LTD company, employ themselves and invoice through the company, but isn't that opening a can of worms regarding CPC and insurance issues?

What is your full time job ? If it's not HGV driving do you have a drivers CPC and a Digi Tacho card ?
If you do go ahead and do the work the easy way is do it as a casual employee and then declare the work to HMRC .
Rumblings in the trade forums is that major changes are imminent regards to self employed or LTD .

I work in aviation, but I have both a tacho card and a CPC.
