Introduction:
In the fast-evolving digital economy, more people than ever are working as freelancers, contractors, and online business owners. But with flexibility comes complexity — especially when it comes to taxes.
Are you inside or outside IR35?
Do you need to register for VAT?
Is your business properly classified in the eyes of HMRC?
If you're unsure, you're not alone. Thousands of people are making costly mistakes due to misclassified tax status. That’s where Pie.tax comes in.

Your tax classification affects:

How HMRC views your income
