Subcontracting Work on a Global Talent Visa

Hi everyone,

I would like to enquire about the possibility of taking on some extra work as a subcontractor alongside my full-time employment while on a Global Talent Visa. The additional work would be consultancy-based and last for five months.

  1. Will taking on this subcontracting work cause any issues with the Home Office?

  2. If there are no issues, can I carry out this work without setting up a company and simply invoice the company for my services?

  3. Since my full-time job is on PAYE, when would I need to complete a self-assessment for this additional income?

I’d really appreciate any insights from those with experience in this area.

Thanks in advance!
