If yore a freelancer, isnt it expected you pay your own taxes? Anyway, the best move is to seek legal advice from an accountant for his matter.

Minimum income is about £4,500 and anything above that you'll need to pay income tax.....things may be slightly different after the recent budget, I don't know.
Add up your full income from both jobs and see where you stand. 🙂
The Self assesement forms from the Inland Revenue are easy to understand, not to be afraid off........and of course the worst thing you can do is 'do nothing'...........
