Hi,
Thanks to everyone that has replied so far.
I have done a self-assessment tax return (I'm no starbucks!!). And I
paid my tax due immediately online (although I still seem to have
received a bill).
However, its the other bits that are confusing me.
It wasn't clear on tax forms/sheets the difference between
self-employed and business - I think I might have done this wrong!!
(I understand their is a difference between 'business' and 'company'
now thanks to a helpful answer earlier).
HMRC lets you claim small amounts of household bills as 'expenses'.
However, if you put this down, are you then operating a business from
home and have to tell / pay extra for this on house insurance.
Similar for car - if I start to claim car expenses, then I will need
business insurance?
It all seems like a lot of confusion and hard work, when essentially
all I'm doing is a few extra hours!!
Thanks for all the answers so far.
Iona
