What’s the £1,000 Trading Allowance?

If you earn a reward from us for referring a new client, you might wonder: “Do I need to pay tax on this?”

The good news is – in most cases, you don’t.

Here’s how it works:

HMRC allows individuals in the UK to earn up to £1,000 per tax year from “casual” or one-off income – like side gigs, hobbies, or referral rewards – without needing to pay tax or report it.

So if you:

Refer a business to us
Receive a one-off cash reward (or even a few throughout the year)
And your total income from things like this is under £1,000 for the year…

Then it’s completely tax-free, and you don’t need to tell HMRC.

Please note:

If you’re regularly earning from referrals or other self-employed work, and the total goes over £1,000 per tax year, you may need to register with HMRC and file a tax return.
This is your responsibility, but most people referring now and then don’t need to worry.

If you’re ever unsure, it’s worth chatting to an accountant – but in most cases, a single reward or two is completely fine and tax-free.
