How to make sure you’re staying tax compliant when selling
If you’re new to selling professionally, you need to make sure you aren’t going to get on the wrong side of HMRC. Especially now that online platforms are legally required to report seller income to HMRC.
So, if your income from side hustles or being self-employed is more than £1,000 (yes even by £1), you need to register as self-employed and submit a Self Assessment. And you need to do it by the deadlines set out.
Now if you don’t want to face this alone, then working with a reputable ecommerce accountant like Crunch is a great option! Working with online accountants who specialise in ecommerce will help give your business the tax edge.
