Every tax year you have a personal allowance, which is the amount you can earn before you have to start paying Income Tax at 20%. If you're self-employed and haven't formed a limited company you need to keep records for what you earn and also for what you spend solely & exclusively for the purposes of work, as it's the "profit" that you're taxed on. Not all costs are valid for deduction: things like travel to and from your place of work are explicitly blocked from tax relief. www.gov.uk does have a lot of guidance but if you're unsure then you either need to speak to HMRC or to suck it up and pay an accountant.
