Hi.
Hoping somebody can help me. I have been trading online for around 7 years & am embarrassed to say it is all undeclared earnings. I'd estimate I've made a profit of around £120,000 over this period from a turnover of around £500,000. What started as a means of selling unwanted goods somehow escalated into a full scale business & I'm at my wits end.
Obviously I need to get things on track & have no idea how to go about it, as I've read HMRC are about to launch a tax amnesty on Ecommerce this spring but are also currently investigating this area of the economy.
Can anybody advise me on the first things I should do to start the ball rolling, or should I wait until the amnesty is announced in the hope of getting a reduced penalty?
I have very little by way of records, so the above figures are rough estimates, but almost all of my sales were through Paypal & my bank/credit accounts & I'd obviously be prepared to give HMRC access to these.
I wouldn't say I'm feeling suicidal yet, but am extremely anxious!!
P.S.
I also work full time, earning around £27,000 p.a. & pay tax through PAYE.
