Hi Joan,

For small and irregular amounts the simplest thing is to invoice in your own name (Like John Smith - Chicken Sexer) and have to money paid into you usual private bank account.

At the end of the year total all the invoices for income, total all receipts for expenses. Subtract expenses from the Invoices total and that is the net income for tax purposes. **Keep copies of everything**

If you wish to be 'non-resident' from the UK you must remain out of the UK for the statutory period (90 days?) per year. The advantages of this are really for millionaires. For income earned in the UK and kept in the UK, then it may be advantagous to declare this on a UK tax return - to use the tax-free allowances.
