Second Job as Freelancer | ILR Eligibility

[vikasunnikkannan]

I have a primary job, which I get paid for via PAYE and is sponsored by a skilled work visa.

The second job I started was initially as a freelancer from April 2025 to August 2025. The payment made was without deducting any tax.

From September 2025 I became an employee at the second job. And since the tax has been deducted for payments till present

At all times I have never exceeded the 20 hours per week for supplementary additional work allowed on skilled worker visa.



1- Was my work from April to September 2025 a freelancer valid? Was it a breach of visa rules?

3- If I pay the tax for the time from April to September 2025 via self-assessment, is that okay?

4- Would it affect my ILR application

Not sure what you are getting at here. If you worked in a second job as per the rules, then there is nothing to worry. You pay your taxes as required per law. What do you mean whether this is ok or not ??
