    Dizzy how does UK tax work, if ur on an american webcam site?

    I dunno where this belongs so move if needed.

    Im English born and bred, but im working on ImLive which is an american company yes. Getting paid into and American account (epassport) i withdraw money useing a visa card.

    So how do i go about taxes?
    Do i pay to america or the UK?
    Whats the %'s?
    Is it classed as oversea earnings? so do i actually have to pay tax?

    Im just not understanding anything at the moment, going to do some research but if you guys could help me out in any way possable, please dont hesitat, i get stressed very easily by stuff like this.

    thank you in advance.

    You would be paying taxes in the Uk. You should contact your local tax agencies. They will be able to give you all the proper info.

    Have you registered with the tax office yet? You need to do that because you should be paying your national insurance monthly to them now.

    You'll do a tax return once a year in October, so what you need to do is keep a track of your earnings in pounds to add up and work out what you earn. It's roughly 20%.

    You can find most of the information you need here:


    Don't put off registering with the tax office though. You need to do it within 3 months of starting or they'll fine you.

    Hi

    I am in the UK and I'm also on IM live (amongst other sites).

    All you do is just print off your earnings from each site and file them, if you haven't already then make a cash book in excel it's super easy PM me if you need help.
    Then send that over to your accountant along with your reciepts etc when tax time is here.

    You would have to talk to an accountant, but you would file taxes in your residence.

    I just filed my taxes and I had to claim all my income. it does not matter the dollar amount.

    It's really not necessary to get an account though. It's easy to do it yourself.

    thank you girlies, im gonna go on down to citizens advise, i hav got problems with my NI number, huge ones, i know ive only got the 3months thats why im tryin to sort it now. but, my step dad decided to claim benifits for me under his name whilst my mother was claiming for me under my birth name (biological dad), i have 2 numbers but the NI place wont talk to me over the phone because all my details are wrong, so i need to seek legal aid to sort that out, urgh, its such a fuck up, truly. the only reason i know i have 2 numbers is because i recieved my number under the name of my step dad, and wen i claimed under 18's benifits b4 i went to college i was given a diffrent number that they found me under, i only realised i had 2 when my mother finally found the card (she lost it coz she was meant to send it back for me saying the name was wrong), ive just never got round to doin it proper because no one would speak to me, just recently found out i can claim legal aid and they can sort it for me, hopefully.

    thanks for ur advise girlies, i hoe i can sort it so i can do my tax's, really dont wanna get any fines etc.
