Online tax returns is not hard. Mine takes about half an hour and mine is more complicated as I buy and sell. It really is as easy as the money in and the money out. It is only more complicated if you earn more. You won't have to pay tax. Don't forget to claim for anything you have to pay for when making the videos. It will hardly matter now but if you ever increase income above tax then it will. The tax return is pretty easy and just a case of answering questions, there is a section on benefits. Most of it won't apply to you.

I found this link that may help.

I know people on here won't like it, but for £100 a year I think you are wasting your time registering for tax. It is unlikely HMRC will catch up with you for a paltry amount, but you never know when they may decide to target You Tube channels. So you may want to do it for peace of mind.

Hi,
Thanks for that and for the link. I'm sure I've seen quotes from that page before but not in so much detail so it's very helpful.

I have no problem at all informing the necessary departments as what I can do with regards to work activity as is extremely limited anyway, I just like to be on the right side of the laws to be honest as being free from anxiety is better for me than trying to dodge anybody for a bit of money.

Thanks again

Isn't that the scheme that was scrapped? Or did they reintroduce it?

Original idea was scrapped. This is a new scheme introduced from April 2017
