Tx John!
Missed Op's location!!.
Op is applying from his home country, so no need for him to go into hmrc stuff!!
Yes, he has to go through the tier 1 self employment guidelines to make sure he submits relevant tax papers And other docs as per his home country.

And, I hope you have your UTR, paying class 2 NI and tax self assessment done.
Pls do check the HMRC link for self employment for further info.
Also, check the required docs for self-employment in the tier1 PBS guidelines.

As a famous quote goes "One person's food can be poison for other person".
IMO , op should consider the experiences had by the others, so that op can decide what's gonna be best for him to smoothly sail through the visa process.
