I have to complete self assessment for few reason. Everything is pretty straightforward with accounting for regular income but I am trying to seek confirmation on where to record a £3000 miscellaneous or casual income that exceeded £1000 trading allowance but wasn’t earned as a part of any formally registered self-employment. So almost like hobby jobs for friend and family. There is section for casual/miscellaneous income in other income but if I declare in there can I still apply £1000 trading allowance deduction somewhere else or should I just deduct the amount earned by the amount of trading allowance in this case?

Hello, paszczaqp Tom
You can only claim 1 trading allowance so wether you claim it against the £3000 or the general self employment is up to you. the casual income should be declared as other income.
Thank you.

Thank you for your replay. Ok so we only claim the trading allowance once, of course. I would just like to confirm that we do it correctly: We have total of 3000 miscellaneous/hobby income which we will be declaring in the Other Income section. However there is no box to utilise the £1000 miscellaneous income allowance. We checked and this allowance is not applied in the calculations automatically, so we presume that we should deduct £1000 allowance from total £3000 and declare £2000 as total Other Income. We would appreciate if you could confirm this process is correct?

Hi paszczaqp Tom
You will declare this hobby income as self employment so when completing the tax return you will have 2 self employment sources.
Thank you.
