Hi,
I have earned 106k from my PAYE Job and 18.5k from Self Employement, sacrificed 25k into SIPP (20k x 1.25) and I am doing my self assessment. It is the first time I have a combined PAYE + sole trader income.
1st Question I am asked to pay Class 4 NIC on 6k ( I assume the difference between soletrader income and 12.5k) on 9%, should it not be 2% as I maximised my NIC ceiling with my PAYE job?

- When I was planning during the year I basically figured that if I put more money in my SIPP than I get from my self employement I could discount that as it reduces my taxable income. Was I wrong and are there other hidden taxes, as they ask me to pay around 2k more than my calculation?
- Am I better off switch to Ltd. Co. instead of sole trader? I do not have major expenses, it's just services
- Basically after adding both incomes and taking out SIPP I am left with 99k. Am I right to go and input this in the take home calculator and pay the amount of tax that is there (+2% Class 4 NIC of 6k which is £120) at the moment the Self assessment is asking me to pay 2k more than that figure
