Among the many focuses of 2023’s tax season is people looking to make some extra income from a ‘side hustle’.
Whether you rent your caravan on Camplify, or even if you simply sell household items on Gumtree, the tax man will be paying attention.
Not all online income needs to be declared, but it’s important to understand the difference between an online hobby and a business. Otherwise, you could find yourself with an unexpected tax bill.
If your side hustle is successful and becomes more than a spare time activity, it makes sense to talk to an accounting professional well before tax time.
