Thankyou, very informative and have also watched your suggested video on paying from a LTD company.. I'd like to know what Kemi's example above would look like if she followed a LTD company approach for her Side Hustle. LTD seems very much more tax efficient but what does it look like when your main income is mostly taxed PAYE? Also, what type of fees would an accountant charge for LTD company accounts. Thanks again
Hello! Really good video thank you for the advice! Not sure you'll see this but if anyone else knows i'd be grateful. When you register your limited company and do your tax, will your company know who you're working for e.g. yourself or is it all kept private so they won't really know other than your tax code changing.
On a different note, I was walking past a bus stop today and noticed Mary is now the face of PensionBee ads? I had to stop and stare at it for few seconds to make sure it was Mary. Well done!!!
Thank you. I recently became a freelance designer after working for various agencies for 15 years. Considering the best route to go down - very informative
Thanks so much 😊. We'd appreciate you leaving us a testimonial for our new website. Please see the Community tab where we posted some guidance. Your feedback matters a lot to us.
The humble penny channel is extremely informative and resourceful, I wonder why someone will be hesitant to subscribe, I have learnt a lot from your platform even though I have been investing since 2004. Your back catalogue of videos on ETFs and REITs have helped me balance out my portfolio as the dividends trickles in passively. Thanks for financially educating us in all realms of archiving FIRE 🔥 you are such an inspiring couples, double thumbs up 👍🏾👍🏾
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you so much, especially for finally helping me to understand the concept of retained earnings. I wondered if, for completeness, you could do corresponding examples for Scottish based tax payers. The tax bands and rates in Scotland are different to the rest of the UK, so it's really hard to apply these examples to Scotland based tax payers for which there are millions. Thank you.
Hey guys, great video. Question on Ltd company salary. You mention that if Chidi took a salary he would have to register for self assessment but if he used someone to do payroll for him and provide payslips etc…would that not just be another PAYE situation?
Thank you so much for a clear and concise presentation. Can a sole trader upgrade (for want of a better word) to a limited company once the side hustle starts doing well?
I really loved the video, you really did explain it in such a detail! It seems for me like such a big ocean, I have started earning some money from a side hustle, but for now I think being a sole trader would be a simpler option :)
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. Please I have a question. My side hustle has made over £1000 income so far this year which means I’ll have to register for self-assessment, right? Will I have to pay tax now or wait until I have up to £12500 of income? Do I only pay tax if I make at £12,500 income every year?
Hi Ken, thanks for all your insights, I have a quick question. If one starts as a one person Ltd. company and wants to bring in his/her spouse, is it better bringing the spouse in as an employee or a director, which is more tax effective especially if the person wants to maximize dividend taking.
Currently, I am an employee and rent out a property. Rental income takes me to a higher rate tax bracket. I also own a limited company company. To reduce the tax, can I take the rent into my limited company account and then take that money out as a dividend?
I've entered my UTR and it asked if i'm best described as a Trust or a Partnership. I'm not sure i'm either but i have to chose one.....and then register that option. Any suggestions please?
I am looking at starting up an Etsy shop but am stuck with what path to follow, whether I should do a sole trader as starting out first or a Limited company, would love a little more information on what would be suited best. thank you so much, quick edit... so starting out I don't really have to register if my profits are below £1000, could I still get a business bank account or use a spare personal bank account first then if my business takes off I can then go as a sole trader self employed etc?
Thanks for the video - very enlightening. Question please - For Chidi, will he still not have to pay tax on the £8,840 salary, considering that his personal allowance would have been used up by his PAYE (ie from his job as a doctor)? Would that not then lead to a situation where any company profit is better withdrawn entirely via dividend?
I have the same question! The example is as if he gets a second personal allowance from the LTD Co, but this would have been used up by his PAYE earnings, right?
Hi mate your video is top I have a question please I have already registered a company and the propose of company is to rent out houses However I have not physically operated my business yet due to lack of understanding. so my question is how can I list the house to business so i can start operate it legally and paying taxes. And how can I pay taxes. Please mate and sorry for my broken English. Many thanks
Hi Guys, similar to Veronica's situation (in the comments), I earn within the 40% tax bracket and have a side hustle earning between 500-700pm. I initially set up as a sole trader due to the fact it's lower revenue and that I could manage my accounts myself (and not pay accountancy fees). I had a ltd company a few years back and was paying around £120pm and simply thought that this option would be a waste if I was only earning £500 per month (the lower end). I wasn't aware of NI so I'll have to look into that but it does seem sole trader option isn't the best option for me. Considering the tax year is up soon, I'll look to set up a ltd company for 22/23 tax year. Do you recommend any accountancy firms to manage these smaller revenue accounts? Thanks
This is what i will have to look for as well. I´m not confidant enough to manage the accounting myself. But i fear i woudl spent too much on an accountant for it to be worth it.
Ken/Mary, thanks for sharing your wisdom as always. I'm a bit torn. I'm keen to start my copywriting business and have a company name in mind. However I also have a full time job earning around 30k. As I don’t have any clients yet should I start as a Ltd, a Sole Trader or not register on Companies House? I'm not sure how hard it is to incorporate a ST into a Ltd at a later date... wondering if you had any suggestions please? Thank you in advance and keep up the great content!🙌
At that income level, if we were in your shoes, we'd start as a Sole Trader. It's not difficult to transfer from Sole Trader to Limited company. But there is admin to do...
Hi, Thanks for the video, so I recently started a side hustle and opened a limited company, but I have been spending my income on normal grocery n household stuff, I don't know if that will affect me when it's time to pay my tax
You shouldn't combine personal and business expenses. Those expenditures will be treated as income to you and taxed as such if they're of a personal nature.
Does that £1000 before becoming a sole trader still count if it is a second job? I think i understood it as yes but i just want to confirm before i start a side hussle. (Im paranoid about getting this wrong)
We gave different examples in the video. Please watch the relevant time stamped sections that answer this question if your side hustle operates as a sole trader or limited company.
Hi! I earn £33.5k per year salary on my main employment, I also earn £3.5k from a part time employment. Both are PAYE and tax and NI is sorted by the employers. However, my friend and I also have a little side hustle, buying and selling things. It turns over approx £100k per year, but only £36k of this is profit. We don't have a joint bank account, we just use the one account and give ourselves a wage monthly. Therefore, I personally make around £18k per year with my side hustle for my equal 50% cut. What would be the best route for myself / us as my friend wants to continue being self employed each, but does that not make the books difficult that way? Thanks in advance!

Hello guys, hope all is well. In order to set up a business bank account do I already need to be registered on companies house as a limited company?
Yes. You need a business entity to open a business account
Simply put Kemi has no money left 😂. Thank you so much for this video been looking for this for ages. Great information. Also putting me off hahaha.

Thanks for sharing. I hear you. About accountancy firms, you can search for an Accountant on the ICAEW website.
This is what i will have to look for as well. I´m not confidant enough to manage the accounting myself. But i fear i woudl spent too much on an accountant for it to be worth it.

We've done a detailed Crypto tax video already :). Please search our channel
Can you set up a limited company and be employed by an employer and have a side hustle and both “payments” go within that LTD?
You can if your employer is happy to pay you into that limited company.
Can you just pay dividends from a limited company instead of both salary & dividends, if you a currently in full time PAYE role outside the company?
Yes. As you're a shareholder of your business.
