- how i can be a freelancer and what i m suppose to do :
Register with HM Revenue and Customs as self-employed
do i create a umbrella company?
That is up to you and your circumstances
do i registred for a self-employed?
Yes
do i need an accountant?
Not necessarily, depends how much money you have and/or how desperately you feel you need one
what is the long tax number for freelancer?(not the insurance number)so i have found a job but they ask me for a long tax number to pay the tax.(where i can ask for this tax number)
They are most likely referring to a UTR or Unique Tax Reference. This does not prove that you are a freelancer/self-employed. It only means you complete a Self Assessment form (which anyone can do really). This number is not really relevant to companies unless you are in the Construction Industry.
and my last question is if i work for an employer in full times can i work sometimes in freelance?
Yes you can work as many employed and/or freelance jobs as you like, as long as HM Revenue and Customs knows about it

An umbrella company is a vehicle (mainly used by contractors) for getting paid. Your clients would pay the umbrella company any fees you charge and then the umbrella company will pay you wages in the form of PAYE and take Tax/NI from the money paid to them as well as a fee.
What sort of area are you thinking of freelancing in?
