Register for tax?

6Stringer

Hi all

I am a new member here and would like to ask a few questions.

I have a part time job and I play guitar and uke as a hobby. I have been asked to provide a series of lessons for a local charity. I don't expect to be paid more than £250 for this. My questions are:

1. Do i have to register as self employed once starting the lessons?

2. Can i treat it as a hobby/upcoming business and not contact HMRC? (Something to do with being exempt because taxable income is less than £1000)

3.Will i have to pay NI contributions?

4.Will i have to fill out a Self Assessment form for such a small amount of earnings?

Thanks in advance for all help.

Nothing to report, it is covered by the new £1000 exemption.

Thanks very much for the reply.

Would i have to disclose this amount when filling in a tax credit form? ie child tax credits or working tax credit.

I'm afraid I can't answer that one!
