I have been looking this up online and through the forums without great success as I think ideally I just need to speak to someone with a bit more experience. My scenario...
- I have a full time job and basic salary
- I have a car allowance, pension and student loan considerations
- I work in sales so have fluctuating commission (months can vary massively in terms of take home)
Now this is all fine and dandy, my company and the tax man generally work it all out and I check using online calculators and we all go home happy. However I have been asked to build a website for someone and financially/tax-wise I am in no way ready to handle it:
- I will be receiving a one-off sum for building/re-building the website based on content provided
- I am not registered as a business entity
- To throw a spanner in the works I am building a company around sales, marketing and startup education so will be, at some point, registering as a business...
What should I do? Simply wait till the end of the year (i.e. march) see if I've picked up more side-projects and declare them all at once having retained a good 40% to pay the taxes? Or am I missing a trick here?
