Miscellaneous income

in Cutting tax
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

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 91 -

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 12,570.0 -

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.

Window cleaning + crypto less (actual) expenses for window cleaning less (actual) expenses for crypto trading (given he is staking and therefore trading)

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)
Crypto tax calculator – TaxScouts
Let me give you some numbers
Profit from trading crypto 12139
Income from staking 3255
Other income (part time window cleaning) 10823
Crypto related expenses 138
After deducting 3000 allowance from the crypto profit, taxed at 18% is 1620.
But I do not understand why no income tax is due 10823 + 3255 = 14078 - 12570 = 1508 X 20% = 301.
Also 90 for class 4 NI.0
