I volunteer to help get your forum questions answered and keep the forum running smoothly. Board guides are not moderators and don't read every post.

Generally I things like this, personal eBay sales etc. are strictly taxable but it would cost HMRC more to collect the tax than they would get in tax so they generally get overlooked.
the sites are onepoll, panelbase and lightspeed panel where Im quite far from the payout threshold, they do give actual money via paypal and BACS
but i read somewhere that I need to register as self employed within 3 months so im confused now:mad::(
Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [email protected].
how long is this process of declaring and is it worth it? Do i have to show proof of how I earned this any money I may make like keep an account for such little money? since I dont want to be filling in to many form every year and is it easy to stop this surveying and tell HMRM to remove me from self empleyed since Im only doing this till I get to uni?
thanks for your help!
I can't find any information on EMA but I would doubt that it is taxable.
Thanks I really appreciate your help guys!
