I'd expect him to learn that the first morning of accountant school before the tea break

Oh thank you for your replies 

I've just read somewhere else that u only pay tax on your 'profit', so to speak: say u book a room for a client for 80pound, put 20 pound of fuel in your car to get there & the client paid you 250pounds for the booking. You only pay tax on the 150pounds of 'profit'. I didn't know that, but makes sense now, if you're hoing to claim back the cost of the room & the petrol.

Kay - thats the site I used to contact an accountant but will mail the Scottish Highlands one. If it works for you, surely it has to work for me also! I get my condoms free anyway but I dud used to buy them. I'll have to remember to keep my receipts forthe lube & whatever else I buy from now on.

Rosa - good point. I dunno, its just the society we live in, I suppose. I'd rather not risk it just incase I do get someone completely old fashioned & judgemental. That woukd be my luck 

Amy - Just been talking to my bf about it too. He suggested Citizens Advice about finding an accountant & help getting this sorted out. I would personally prefer speaking to someone face to face but I will mail the accountant Kay usrd/uses.

Having read other threads where others say they just put 'escort', I feel reassured about that. Another site said if u were ever to be investigated they'll need to see your website. If I put 'masseuse', how would I explain that? I would rather put masseuse, but all 'what ifs' I have going round in my head don't feel worth it. Do they need to see your website once you have registered?

I'll have to check the 'confirmation' emails haven't been deleted. I think I may still have a petrol receipt from a tour I've just finished.

Back to the 'masseuse' bit. If I say this, what will I have to deliberately avoid showing? I just know I'll slip up somewhere 

Thanks again girls, I really appreciate it xxx

I believe, that instead of claim the petrol cost back, there is a HMRC approved mileage allowance you can claim with just a description of the journey and distance of something like 45 or 47 pence per mile. This covers the fuel but also helps with the insurance and wear and tear on your car. HMRC may ask for proof that you made the journey, but the hotel room bookings when touring would satisfy this.

When filing your own self assessment. Do you include your own name as the business name or do you include your ‘working name’ or something else? Thanks

Hi everyone, do you treat phone sex and webcam as different businesses to escorting when filling out your tax return or can you lump them under the same form?  Thanks!

Do self employed mobile massage therapist or beauty therapists need insurance by law? In Ireland

Just wanted to announce and to brag perhaps...

Congrats! 

Just wanted to announce and to brag perhaps  that I'm very happy because after 3.5 years of working as escort I finally started contributing to my retirement fund and feel so happy about it.

That brilliant Neutral, go you!
