Jay says: 20 May 2016 at 19:40 Hi, I can provide services such as graphic design, animation, music production and web development. I recently caught attention of few business owners wanting me to do work for them, will I need to pay tax approaching them as self employed individual? I am prepared to charge everything once off based. |

However, if you run a business and earn above this amount you will need to register as a provisional taxpayer and pay tax twice a year on your estimated profit (i.e. sales - expenses). You will need to declare your income and expenses from your business within the section "Local Trade and Professional Income" of your Tax Return.
