Are you taxed on side hustles?
Plenty of households are taking on side hustles such as babysitting or setting up an eBay store to boost their earnings.
And luckily, you can use a “trading allowance” which means you don’t have to pay tax on any yearly gross income of £1,000 or less.
However, if you do earn over the £1,000 threshold, you will have to declare it to HMRC.
You can claim a trading allowance via Self-Assessment on the Government’s website.
First you need to inform them you’re a sole trader and tell them how much you earn in income, when you started and who you are.
HMRC will then send you a UTR number which you can use to submit a Self-Assessment tax return.
The tax year runs from April 6 to April 5 of the following year, and the deadline to pay is the following January 31.
Another person said: “Love this. Thanks for sharing!”
A third said: “I love digital marketing”.
A fourth added: “So doing this.
“Time to stop messing around”.
