Who can speak of wonders yet unseen?
Who can reach the height of understanding,
 to play the notes of wisdoms melody?

Running A Craft Business ~ Tax and Insurance

Law and legalities: In the UK



There is no such thing as  hobby selling, the moment you offer anything for sale or accept money or reward (can include shopping, bartered gifts etc) you are classed as a trader.You should tell  the Inland Revenue. as soon as you start working for yourself (you can’t register in advance). If you delay registering, you may have to pay an initial penalty. You’ll also have to pay further penalties if payments become due and have not been met. 
You will be self employed / sole trader etc. The tax return is filled out each year. You must keep a set of simple accounts and save all your receipts, note down all income, sales etc.


Ignorance is no excuse!!


If you are selling items that you have made, you need public liability insurance. Typically for a craft type trader this will be in the region of £50 - £100.


CMTIA – is one example, but there are several options.
