我真的有必要去填那个self assessment tax return吗??

我就闲来无聊开个小网店,赚点零用钱而已。我老公就硬是觉得这不是hobby,算是工作。要我跟hmrc说。我们都已经问过了,根据我的收入远远没达到要交税的界限。可是,有些网友和我老公说我还是应该注册一个self employed。填个什么self assessment tax return。几百页,而且还不是全部都明白具体是要我填什么。我就一个月卖几十件东西。一个月赚100磅都不到。这也要填self assessment tax return吗?好离谱啊

界定是否算生意请参考:
HMRC follows a number of guidelines called “the badges of trade” that help them reach a conclusion: is a part-time hobby, that creates an income stream, a business that needs to be declared on an annual tax return? These badges of trade are listed below:
An intention to make a profit supports trading, but by itself is not conclusive.
Is the asset of such a type or amount that it can only be turned to advantage by a sale? Or did it yield an income or give ‘pride of possession’, for example, a picture for personal enjoyment?
Transactions that are similar to those of an existing trade may themselves be trading.
Was the asset repaired, modified or improved to make it more easily saleable or saleable at a greater profit?
Was the asset sold in a way that was typical of trading organisations? Alternatively, did it have to be sold to raise cash for an emergency?
Was money borrowed to buy the asset? Could the funds only be repaid by selling the asset?
Assets that are the subject of trade will normally, but not always, be sold quickly. Therefore, an intention to resell an asset shortly after purchase will support trading. However, an asset, which is to be held indefinitely, is much less likely to be a subject of trade.
An asset that is acquired by inheritance, or as a gift, is less likely to be the subject of trade.

if your hobby does not produce income above £1,000, it can be ignored for tax purposes after 5 April 2017.

谢谢你的资料。你是哪里找的?

1000是一年?一个月?净利润?
