    By working for Avon you are self-employed and thus need to declar this to HMRC. You are employed by the company of your part-time job so tax is automatically taken out of your wages for that but with Avon you need to register as self-employed.

    To be fair if your only doing a couple of hours a week you probably won't end up paying any tax with you Avon business but you still need to show this to HMRC.

    I do Avon (have done for 10+ years), the tax you pay depends on how much of your allowance you have already used from your other job.

    You need to register with HMRC regardless, it's still extra income you wouldn't have had by doing nothing even if you do pay some of your profit in tax
