    No!

    That figure would be true if you had no other income (i.e. it is the single person's tax allowance). Currently the first £10000 of your salary is tax free, you pay tax on the rest. Therefore any profits you make with your part time business will be taxable.

    Tax allowances and rates are cumulative, i.e. the first £10k of all your income is tax free, not £10k from each source.

    NB this is different to NIC which is worked on a "per job" basis, so you have your lower NIC threshold/allowance for each work/job that you have.

    As the above said, as you're already earning £10k (which could come from any income source), you'll be paying tax on all your income online from the first £1. (Where income = turnover-expenses)
