I am a sole trader decorator - can I pay other sole trader decorators or general maintenance to give me a hand and they then log their own tax return?

Also - can a sole trader stay self employed if they only ever help another decorator on and off?

If it’s only in clients homes/domestic etc I don’t need to be cis? Never do building sites or construction.

Paye wouldn’t work as the work wouldn’t be frequent enough or guaranteed.

Frequency would be an odd month here and there if I take on a bigger job.

I’m about to start a PAYE job and don’t have a P45, so I’m completing a Starter Checklist.
I’m also self-employed and complete a Self Assessment each year.
For the question “Do you have another job?”, should I answer Yes because self-employment is another job, or No because I don’t have another PAYE employer?
I’m trying to complete the form correctly, not avoid tax.
I also don’t earn much on my self employment - £2000 for the year I expect.
Thanks.
