Tax Question Employed + Earning on the Side

TMinside · 22 February 2018 at 12:07AM

Hi all,

So I had a quick question regarding Tax as I'm not to sure of the ins and outs...

I am currently full time employed paying National Insurance + Tax on my wage each month. My question is do I need to declare to the tax man if I am earning money on the side? It will be around £1000-£1500 per annum.

Thanks for any advice.

There!!!8217;s a new £1000 trading allowance but if your side earnings are above this then yes, you do need to declare it. At that level I believe HMRC should be able to adjust your tax code rather than require a return but you!!!8217;d need to ring them and find out.

Thanks for confirming. Is anyone else able to back this up? I presume I won't have to call them unless I go over the £1000 threshold.
