HMRC Side Hustle

A royal blue infographic titled “HMRC Side Hustle Tax Rules for 2025/26” explaining when a hobby becomes taxable in the UK. The infographic highlights that income over £1,000 may be taxable, outlines increased reporting by platforms such as eBay, Etsy, Amazon and Airbnb, and summarises HMRC’s badges of trade. It includes guidance on the £1,000 trading allowance, notes that gifts and non-cash benefits received by influencers are taxable, and provides contact details for Trueman Brown (mark@truemanbrown.co.uk
