🚨 Attention Side Hustlers! 🚨
If you’ve been turning your passion into profit, it’s time to pay close attention! More than ever, UK side hustles are on the rise, from selling handmade goodies to creating content online. But as your passion projects grow, so do your responsibilities!
💡 Did you know you’re allowed a £1,000 tax-free trading allowance from the HMRC? The buzzworthy detail is this applies to your total income, not just profits. That means if your side venture pulls in over £85 a month, you could exceed this threshold quickly!
Entering the self-employed world means keeping an eye on earnings. If your side hustle income from last year topped £1,000, it’s time to start with HMRC’s Self Assessment. Don’t worry, though — they’re here to help with all the info you need!
Here’s why it matters:
1️⃣ **Stay on top of your game:** Understand and manage your income to avoid unwelcome surprises.
2️⃣ **Get smart with finances:** Separating personal and business accounts early can keep things simple.
3️⃣ **Embrace potential growth:** Recognise when your fun project morphs into a thriving business to be ready for the responsibilities and rewards it brings.
Your crafts, skills, and digital content are fabulous and lucrative – just remember to handle the admin side. Think of it as an essential step on the ladder to turning hobbies into self-made success!
The new wave of UK entrepreneurs is reshaping business landscapes. Don’t let tax obligations be the stumbling block. Take charge, stay empowered and let your creative empire roll! 🌟
