Hi,
If your consultancy service annual gross turnover exceeds £1000, then yes, you will need to register for self assessment, as self employed
Register as a sole trader.
Please take a look at the
Business records if you're self-employed for guidance on record keeping.
How you invoice your client is up to you.
If this is a one-off, you would still need to register as self employed.
You would also need to confirm that the self employment has ceased.
Thank you.
