Of course, the laws for Tax in the UK are quite different. I'm
certainly not an accoutant either, but I can comment on a few things.
If fact, a great many people in the UK don't even have to do their
tax return, but it's required if your tax is the slightest bit
complicated. In this case, even if you declared it, you probably
wouldn't pay any tax. The reason is that you're allowed up to 4500UKP
in self-employment per year before it's taxed.
As I said, I'm not an expert, and the conditions under which this apply
could well be quite complicated, so if anyone knows better, then feel
free to comment.
