'Help for Hustles' - do you need to declare your side hustle income

HMRC has launched its 'Help for Hustles' campaign - aimed at helping people earning extra income to understand their tax obligations.

Whether it’s making extra income from activities such as online content creation, dog walking, or making handcrafted items to sell, HMRC has launched a new Help for Hustles campaign to assist people in understanding if they need to declare their earnings.

If someone has earned more than £1,000 from their side hustle in a tax year, they may need to complete a Self Assessment tax return. Customers can check if they need to tell HMRC about additional income on GOV.UK.
