Paying tax with babysitting agencies

[Madeline78]

If you belong to a babysitting agency but hope to stay below the £1000 personal tax limit, does the agency contact HMRC if you go over this or do you have to? I know Vinted contacts HMRC if you raise more than £1000 but didn’t know if other organisations did too.

Are you hoping to defraud the tax payer from income tax?

everyone is allowed £1000 personal trading allowance per year but it is turnover not profit, without paying tax or doing a tax return ( selling your own peronal belongings doesn't count as it is rare to sell them for more than you paid for them and if you do you still have a capital gains allowance per year)
it works out as £20 a week, the same as those on benefit can earn without declaring it, so £999 fine £1001 and you need to do a tax return

so to be clear you can't deduct exepnses ie petrol or transport costs from babysitting earnings, or if vinted the cost of boxes bags and travel to post office

If you work for an agency, you will be allowed to earn just over £12,000 per year before paying tax, but NI is a lot less.

I think you're wanting to talk about apples but asking about oranges.

Are you trying to keep below the limit at which you need to declare a side hustle? This is not the same thing as the limit above which you pay tax.
