National Insurance
When becoming self-employed you must register with the Inland Revenue for Class 2 National Insurance within 3 months after the month in which you start up, or risk a fine of £100.
If you’re self employed you usually have to pay class 2 and 4 National Insurance unless, at the beginning of the tax year, you are over state pension age, under the age of sixteen or not a resident of the UK for tax reasons. If you have income from employment as well, there are limits on the total Class 1, 2 and 4 contributions you pay.

Recording companies often invest a lot of time and money in discovering new talent or developing the talent of artists already under contract. The association of the brand with the artists helps define the image of both the brand and the artist.
