It’s Official: No More Tax Forms for Those Earnin’ Less Than £3,000
What James Murray Just Announced
James Murray, the Treasury Minister, has dropped a game‑changing announcement: if your annual earnings are under £3,000, you can skip the dreaded self‑assessment tax return. That’s right—no more form‑filling doom for the budget‑offenders.
New Online Form: The Easy‑Peasy Way to Declare
Instead of the old tedious paperwork, HMRC is rolling out a simple online form for people who do a bit of gig work or side hustle. Whether you’re selling off old video games or whipping up TikTok videos, you’ll just log in, hit the “declare earnings” button, and you’re done.
It Won’t Change Your Tax Bill
Your actual tax liability stays the same. The new tool is just a cheerful, hassle‑free shortcut for people who earn less than £1,000 a year from gigs like dog walking, tutoring, or online stuff. That or you’re below the £1,000 threshold—and then you owe nothing, so no need to declare.
Why This Matters
- More Time on Your Side Hustle – Spend less minutes on paperwork and more on hustling.
- Reduced Stress – No more “filling out tax returns” nightmares.
- Boost for Small‑Scale Entrepreneurs – More freedom to grow your side gig.
Murray on the Change
During his chat with The Sun, Murray promised a new tone for HMRC: “From selling old games to creating content on social media, we’re re‑engineering the way tax works, so Brits can truly unleash their entrepreneurial spirit.” He also noted that removing hundreds of thousands of people from the filing burden means less form‑filling and more hustling.
Looking Ahead
HMRC is also testing fresh customer‑service tools to keep the experience smooth and friendly.
