Will I need to pay tax on my earnings from bookings?Updated a month ago

When you are working for Sitters families you remain responsible for any tax reporting and tax settlement on your earnings, your responsibilities are not changed by the introduction of an App.

It is your responsibility to consider whether your earnings leave you below the self-employed threshold (£1,000 in tax year 2025/26) and whether any tax is due if your earnings are above the tax-free personal allowance (£12,570 in tax year 2025/26).

Sitters will of course respond to any enquiries from and comply with any reporting required by, HMRC, as required by law.
