    Default UK Taxes, Background checks and 1099s. Confused!

    Hello all, I have just started camming on AW and I just wanted to clarify some things, I have searched and read through the posts but I just confused myself even more. Clearly I am not the brightest tool in the shed. Now I just opted to sign up with DP and as I understand it the money gets paid straight from AW to DP and then DP file their paperwork with the HMRC but not about specific camgirls income.

    I understand we have to register as self employed with the HMRC (I am based in the UK) and that we have to fill out our tax returns each year to declare income even if it is under the personal allowance threshold. On the self employment form you can put down whatever profession/job title you like.

    So what I am confused about is would this ever show up in a background or reference check in the UK, that I was at one point registered as self employed as I'm obviously not classed as working for AW. Would any company be able to find out that I specifically had income coming in from AW or would it just show up as me being self employed without ties to any company?

    Also if I choose to work on MFC or another USA based company that files 1099s that one would not be filed for me as I am not a US citizen? So would those specific companies also show up on an employment history, background/reference check for the UK?

    Am I right in saying that if I chose to never disclose that I had dealings with AW or that I was self employed to a future employer that they would not be able to find out?

    Sorry if these are tired subjects but I'm just trying to minimize & understand the paper trail.

    I currently have a full-time job, plan to go back to university and cam in my spare time between the full-time job and university so I just want to clarify everything before I went any further in regards to camming.
    Thank you all in advance if anyone can help clear up my confusion.

    I did have a look at these threads but just wanted to clarify the points above.

    1099's are obviously filed with the US IRS in the names of US resident girls. At the moment, I'm not aware of any similar automatic reporting mechanism in place for UK resident girls. However, it is worth noting that the UK is broke and seeking additional tax revenues ... PLUS worth noting that an example already exists of a popular non-US based adult webcam host RETROACTIVELY issuing 1099's this year based on newly imposed IRS regulations on international funds transfers into the USA, which 'surprised' a large number of US camgirls who thought that their 2010 camming activities were 'safe' from discovery. Is it possible that the UK could decide to follow in US footsteps in regard to mandating the reporting of international funds being transferred to UK girls ?

    I would also add that, where the internet is concerned, anything posted on the net will 'hang around forever'. Unfortunately, where camgirl images / video clips are concerned, this leaves open the possibility that a gov't agency or prospective employer's background investigator could employ 'facial recognition' technology in the future which could quickly connect the digital photo of a taxpayer / job applicant with adult image / video content posted on a XXX site. I'm not saying that this is a sure thing, but very effective 'facial recognition' technology is already available to gov't agencies and 'facial recognition' technology becomes more available / affordable to prospective employers with each passing year.

    Bottom line is that if you are making a large investment of time and money towards preparing for a future career, a future career that would be jeopardized if your past work in the adult entertainment industry was 'outed', then you are assuming some element of risk by doing adult cam work. How high that risk factor is is obviously open to question ... but it is not zero !!! And, arguably, that risk factor increases with each passing year as technology improves / gets less expensive.

    The income shows as being from ChexxAmerica's if straight from AW, or from DailyPay if you're on PJ's system. There will always be a paper trail one way or another, that if anyone looked into deeply enough they could find. However when it comes to taxes, yes what shows up is just that you're self employed, and your business name, unless you give further information.

    I'm in the UK and have been through setting up as a business with hrmc, taxes etc, if you need any help x
