My wife occasionally sells copies of an original work of art
Customer Question
My wife occasionally sells copies of an original work of art - which we own - to the Canterbury Cathedral bookshop. This has involved setting up an arrangement with a local giclee printer who produce copies when needed. The order from Canterbury is erratic and depends on their sales. In an average year our net profit has been about £100.
In previous years my wife has submitted a tax return which has included this extra income. But this year - attempting to submit her form 'on line' - she has been bewildered by regulations and decided that she should enter the year's income from Canterbury under a new 'heading' and has attempted to register as a business. This has resulted in a plethora of forms and instructions which are bewildering. Attempts to phone 'gateway' have failed. Can you advise:
does an occasional activity - involving sums of less that £200 in a year - classify as a 'business'?
and if it does not, and only net income should be entered and taxed - how can she extricate herself and her tax returns from 'gateway'?

Hello and welcome to the site. Thank you for your question.
Does your wife have any other income apart from this income from occasional activity?
Many thanks
