Keep useful earning and tax records

Separate expected rewards from payments you have actually received.

1. Record the date, provider, amount received and any related costs. Keep receipts and payment confirmations separately from the public site.
2. Use the tracker for actual payments; use your saved opportunities to track work still in progress. Export a copy of your records regularly.
3. Different types of income can be treated differently. Do not assume that an earning is tax-free just because it is small or paid through an app.
4. Use HMRC’s additional-income checker for your circumstances. If you sell or provide services through platforms, read its online-platform guidance too.
5. The Ways2Earn tracker does not calculate tax or submit a return. Ask HMRC or a qualified adviser if you are unsure what you need to report.

Keep gross receipts, expenses and net profit distinguishable in your own records.
