Say ‘I do’ to getting your side hustle tax right 🔔

The invitations are out, the venues are booked and the flowers are ordered - but for wedding suppliers who have turned their hobby into a side hustle, there is one more item on the to-do list: checking their tax obligations.

As wedding season gets underway, HMRC is reminding anyone earning extra income from activities like selling wedding stationery, filming the first dance or cake-making, that they will need to tell HMRC if they earn more than £1,000.

HMRC urges eligible tax advisers to register under the new rules before 18 August 2026❗

The clock is ticking for Tax advisers to register under new mandatory requirements designed to raise standards in the tax advice market, protect taxpayers, and support those who play by the rules.

HMRC is encouraging anyone who has not yet registered to check if they need to and submit their application as soon as possible.

The first phase of Modernising and Mandating Tax Adviser Registration (MMTAR) closes on 18 August 2026 for new tax advisers, or advisers interacting with HMRC without an agent services account (ASA), Self Assessment or Corporation Tax account.

MMTAR is a single, streamlined digital registration system that is replacing a range of previous processes, making it easier for tax advisers to interact with HMRC.

Check if you need to tell HMRC about your income from online platforms 🧐

You may need to tell HMRC if you receive income through online marketplaces or social media. This could be whether it’s your main source of income or another source — sometimes called a ‘side hustle’.

Income could be money, gifts or services you have received from:

🤳 selling personal possessions
🤳 selling goods
🤳 providing a service
🤳 creating online content
🤳 renting out land or property

If you received gifts or services instead of money, you would use the value of what it would have cost if you had to pay for them.

This tool will help you work out if you need to tell HMRC about your income, and how to report it if you do > https://tinyurl.com/3chbfysm
