Question regarding Self-Assessment

[houmie]

Hi,

I have started an Ltd in March 2011 and am now contracting.

HMRC asked me to do a Self Assessment for 2010/11.

The online form asks me

"If you were an employee, director, office holder or agency worker, do you need to complete the employment section?"

YES (I had a former employer plus being a director of my new company)

Then it would ask for the name of the employer. So far so good.

But then it would ask again, if I was self-employed and how many self-employed businesses did I have.

Now does my directorship of my own company puts me into the first or second section? Its quite confusing..

Thanks,

You are a director (assumption on my part) of your Ltd.

You are not self employed.

yes I am a director of my ltd.
Great, then I don't need to fill the self-employment section at all.

Thanks,
