I beat for a shoot on a small daily rate earning just under £1000 a year. Do I have to fill in a self assessment form and pay tax on this as I have a private pension and state pension which means I do have tax deducted at source?

Hi Paula,
Your work as a beater in the shooting season is self employment.
As this self employment is below £1000 in the tax year, you can set the trading income allowance against it, which means you do not need to submit a tax return.
Should your self employment earnings exceeds £1000 in a tax year, you will meet the critieria for completing a Self Assessment tax return, in which you declare all of your sources of income, including your pensions and State Pension.
Thank you.
