Do I have to pay tax in the UK for an internet business?

Question: I am 17 years old (soon to become 18) and am thinking of starting an on-line web hosting business . Obviously due to the nature of the internet customers may be from around the world.

Would I have to pay tax on any earnings? If yes, were would I go to find more information about this works / how to pay.


Answer: Based on your business hosting question, here is our suggestion. If you are looking for a business hosting or even the best domain host, your best option is to go with Hostgator. Well, they are not totally free – you have to pay $0.01 (by entering the coupon code below at checkout). This coupon code is usable for any shared hosting and even the $24.95 Aluminum reseller hosting. We suggest you do not waste your time with any other unreliable business hosting.




If you are not only looking for a business hosting, but also a good cheap hosting, we suggest you try MyHosting. It is hard to find any negative MyHosting review so we believe they are the best because they give unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage, unlimited addon domains, Site builder and much more for such a low monthly price. You can get MyHosting for only $4.84/month.

Do you have more suggestion? Do you disagree with us? Please leave your comment in the box below.

    UK residents are taxed on their worldwide earnings. You wil need to register with HMRC and keep records of your business income and expenses.

    Therefore, yes, you will pay tax on an internet business.
