    UA-cam is a great side hustle! great video!
    Lots of allowances that you could potentially do to avoid or exempt this income even if you dont have a company. Being self employed to begin with is often a good idea, especially if your main sources of income arent incredibly high!

    Excellent and concise video thank you. I suppose my follow up question to this would be, once you exceed that £1000 threshold would setting yourself up as a LTD company create any further tax efficiencies or benefits, or would this only be useful to channels that are drawing much larger revenue (say £50,000 p.a rather than £1002 p.a). Thanks!

    Hi. Just found your channel. Great advice. A quick question. What if I have different UA-cam channels that have been monetised, can all the channels be under one LTD company? Or should I just declare all the income together as a sole trader? Please I need clarification. Thanks 🙏🏽

    Hi just wondering if you can help clear something up for me. I started making a bit of cash on UA-cam but each time I get paid from Google ads I get us tax taken off me. As I'm from the uk I find this a bit odd because i will also have to pay uk tax too when i earn over 1k. Have I done something wrong when setting everything up or is that just how it is and will have to pay us tax as well as uk tax? Thanks for any help 👍

      You can get a unique tax reference (UTR) number without being registered for self assessment iirc you need a passport/photo ID for this. This is also how you log on to your government gateway to check things like NI contributions.
      I believe this number is sufficient for YT although if you do blow up and wish to change to a limited company it becomes more convoluted. At least that is what I read in regards to kindle direct publishing. Gl

  • @shinyrayasmr

    Hi, just found your channel🥰❤️ I have a question regarding the taxes. For example, I earn money for a year or two, lets say between 3000-6000$ a year and I didn t know I must register myself as self employed and then I decide after this period of time to register as self employed. Do I need to start paying taxes from that moment as I registered as a self employed or I need to pay taxes even for the previous year when I did not pay? and if I don t pay for the previous years what can happen?

    • @tax2ulimited
      @tax2ulimited  8 місяців тому

      If you are in the UK, HMRC will request you to Submit a Tax Return for both of the previous Tax Years that you had the 3000-6000$ income a year as Self Employed. You must send a tax return if, in the last tax years (6 April to 5 April) you were self-employed as a ‘sole trader’ and earned more than £1,000 (before taking off anything you can claim tax relief on). If you are late in submitting your Tax Return, HMRC will fine you unfortunately. So the sooner you solve this the better. The good news is that The standard Personal Allowance for last 2 tax years was £12,570, which is the amount of income you do not have to pay tax on, but you still need to submit a Tax Return. If you need help send us an email info@tax2u.co.uk with your details.

    • @tax2ulimited

      If your total earnings from UA-cam are below £1,000 then no you wouldn't need to do anything. If YT earnings exceed £1,000 then you would need to register as self employed and complete a tax return.

    Great video thanks! If I have a full time PAYE job does HMRC look at my total income? eg if I earn less than £1000 from my youtube channel would they still need to tax it because of the income from my PAYE job or is the 'sole trader' part of my life completely separate?

    • @tax2ulimited

      No, If revenue from youtube is below £1,000 then it doesn't need to be declared to HMRC. it doesn't matter how much income you have from self employment.

      Work visa implies not a UK citizen? It will then depend on your own country's laws in respect to self employment and taxes is my understanding. If you have a UK Unique Tax Reference number you can use this to log onto a government gateway account which allows you to fill in a self assessment with the relevant details.

    • @tax2ulimited
      @tax2ulimited  2 роки тому

      That is probably a US tax form as I received one recently as well. I haven't done too much research into this yet but it's likely that if you don't reply then UA-cam will start to withhold some tax on any revenue that is generated from US viewers. Depending on how many of your viewers are based this may or may not have an impact on your income.

      You normally need to declate your income and pay tax on it, on the country you are a resident. You can live abroad and still be a UK resident for tax, for example if you visit the UK for more than 183 days in a tax year. www.gov.uk/tax-uk-income-live-abroad/uk-resident

      You would usually need to complete a self assessment tax return and detail both sources of income. You should have already suffered tax on your employment income so it's just a case of whether any additional tax is payable on the youtube income.
