Beeing an influencer is a profession like any other, therefore taxes also apply to this activity.<br \/>\nContent creators in the UK have to register as self employed when filling the Income Tax and Self Assessment to the HM Revenue &amp; Customs, and declare their income.<br \/>\nFor example:Content creators have to pay taxes on collaboration, if you\u2019ve been incentivised in any way to promote a brand or product in your social media content, for example in photos including carousels, videos, reels or stories, podcasts or other posts online it\u2019s important that all this content is clearly identifiable as an ad (or advertising).<br \/>\nIf you receive a valuable gift you will have to pay tax on it (a gift of a gracious manner is non-taxable a gift where there is an obligation attached to it is for example taxable).<br \/>\nIt is important that the terms and the value of the gift are clearly agreed upon with the company sending the gift.<br \/>\nExpenses directly related to social media activities, such as purchasing equipment or travel, may be deductible for tax purposes so keeping track of your expenses is important.<br \/>\nNowadays, there are often staff at the tax offices who are specifically responsible for influencers, and accounting firms that can help you in those procedures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So you want to enter the influencer business but what&#8217;s the best way to get started?
