A couple of quick (and hopefully simple questions)

To make everything official, I'm looking at setting myself up as a sole trader for my affiliate marketing activities, which are currently a second source of income.

I've got a few questions that I could do with some help with:

- Is there a valid argument for the thought that if I'm earning over 40k in total from my day job and A/M, then I should be setting myself up as a limited company for tax reasons?

- Is it possible to download an example of the tax form which I will need to fill in at the end of the tax year?

Finally, is there a specialist/professional that people would recommend talking to about this kind of stuff? I'd certainly welcome the opportunity.

Thanks,
