I fear my question spans a few different topics...
I've developed a website in my spare time (a game) that has become quite popular and is generating a small income (hundreds rather than thousands per year).
I have a full time day job and normally pay income tax at source through PAYE and haven't had to file a tax return in recent years. I'm a higher rate tax payer.
I also have a small income (a few thousand a year) from other ad-hoc part time work.
My question is how I can offset my non-PAYE income against the R&D time (effort) and expenses of running the website. The income from the website just covers the running costs, so in my head I shouldn't have to pay tax on this income. I am less clear whether I can offset my ad-hoc part time work against the website given the work is entirely unrelated to the site. A related question is whether I could, in principle, offset some of my PAYE income against R&D / expenses of the website.
There is currently no limited company or anything set up for the website.
Many thanks for your help.
