Ticket Sales

Postby Mike4 » Wed Feb 10, 2016 6:15 pm

Forgetting the moral questions, can anyone point me in the direction of information on buying and selling event tickets?

I have another full time job but on the side I've been buying tickets and selling them on sites such as Stubhub. I've seen something which suggests I won't have to pay income tax or national insurance as long as my yearly turnover is below £81,000. However I can't find much info on this. I've never been self employed so have very little knowledge on this sort of thing.

Thanks in advance.

On the gov website. Think it may have been for VAT. So I'm guessing I should register myself as self employed and declare the earnings I make, obviously also declaring the cost of the tickets to me in the first place.
