UK law

Are there any tax obligations if you use AdSense as a UK resident?

Do you have to declare AdSense earnings, or can you just cash the cheque and get on with life?

Also, when you get sent your cheque, do you simply get a normal cheque to you for the amount owed addressed to you?

Is it really that simple?

Sorry for all the questions, but I just want to make sure that I am doing everything legit.

 

If its income, you need to pay tax on it. For more information on how you shouldbe doing that in the UK, you should contact your accountant.

 

It is an income that you should declare, and yes it is taxable. You get a normal cheque provided you have registered to receive it in sterling.

Edit : beaten to it by yfs1 (again)

 

That's another thing- I can't seem to register to recieve payment in anything but $USD. Why not?

 

I tell a lie- suddenly it gives the option of sterling!
New feature?

 

Go to --- My Account -then-- Scroll to Payment Details -then- Edit -- then follow the prompts

 

Its always been there since they started offering other currencys....I know its been nearly a year for Euros

 

ok, thanks
