Tax advice for payment for making a website

[tj2419]

Hi

 

I made a website for someone i used to work with. They have paid me for it but now have asked if i could make them a receipt.

 

If i did this would this mean i would need to declare the money on my taxes? And whats the process for that? It was only £20.

 

Thanks

If it's a one-off and not something you do as a 'business' on the side I wouldn't worry about it. It it was several hundred pounds then yes, you should declare it as extra income.

Give them a receipt, it is very, very, very, very, very etc. unlikely that HMRC would check that invoice against you and then come demanding £2. You would also not be VAT eligable unless you are actually earning over the 81k threshold for VAT laibility!

Earning over £81k! That would be a dream Cheers

I am trying.

 

Got paid about £480 for some extra work I did, but every time I try and tell them they say I have filled in the wrong form!!!!!!!!

 

I would not bother for anything under £100, although most people don't bother at all.

By the time you've deducted leccy and other fees theres probably no profit. Wouldn't worry about tax.

For that little I wouldnt worry at all. Besides you dont want to join us every Jan doing our tax returns, its not a fun process, esp if its for a second 'income' and your messing with NI too
