Miscellaneous income

tribetown

I fill out a self assessment for my daily work.
For the 2024/2025 tax year I have income from staking cryptocurrency of about £2000.

I understand this comes under the trading and miscellaneous income allowance.
Box 17 of the SA100.

When I input the amount do I input £2000 or deduct the £1000 allowance or is that done automatically?

Thanks for any help

Thank-you for the link, I read page 9 a few times but must admit I find it confusing.

Is your daily work employment or self employment?

The trading allowance is allowed against all your self employed income so, if you have already claimed expenses against self employment income you cannot use the trading allowance against the misc income as well.

It misc income is your only self employment income then deduct the trading allowance as you  do not report exempted income.

See the first paragraph on page 9

Hello,

Yes, I am a part time self-employed window cleaner. I earn below the 12,570 annual allowance.
I always input my gross income then minus my work related costs.

As far as I know I have never used the trading allowance.

With the staking rewards from Cryptocurrency which I understand is taxed under income tax it will take me over the 12,570.

You cannot claim trading allowance if you claim expenses against your window cleaning business. The one trading allowance covers
 all self employment, not a trading allowance for each separate source.

It is one or the other- expenses or trading allowance.

Window cleaning +  crypto less  expenses for window cleaning or

window cleaning +  crypto  less one trading allowance of £1000, whichever is more beneficial.

I see, thank-you for clearing that up.

Window cleaning +  crypto less  expenses for window cleaning or

pedantically the first option should be 
Window cleaning + crypto less (actual) expenses for window cleaning less (actual) expenses for crypto trading (given he is staking and therefore trading)
