Small PC Support Business

Hi,

Just a quick question, hope some one can answer or help!

I've got a job at the mo, paying around 18k a year, but was looking to earn a bit of money from helping people with there PCs. I've got a degree so fully qualified and was thinking of just starting in a small location near my home offering services such as breakdown repairs, services, setting up networks, building PCs etc....

Not anything major, just a few bits and bobs to earn a few extra quid?

My question is where do i stand in terms of tax etc, and how can i move forward with my idea... obviously i can build a website and hand out a few leaflets, if i begin to get a few jobs etc do i need to do anything tax wise etc?

Please help!

Thanks

Petchy
Cheers Petchy

    just register as "Self Employed" and it's counted as a seperate income from your PAYE

    I've done it before and they just get you to do a Tax return each year, just remember to keep receipts for stuff
