Tax records and HMRC platform reporting

Your tax responsibility

JobTackl providers operate independently. JobTackl does not deduct Income Tax or National Insurance for you and cannot decide whether you owe tax. Keep records of all income and allowable expenses and obtain HMRC or professional advice for your circumstances.

Information JobTackl may have to collect and verify

For an individual seller, HMRC’s current rules include:

• full legal name and home address, including postcode;
• date of birth;
• National Insurance number for a UK resident, or the applicable foreign tax identification number and issuing country; and
• tax residence and payment-account information needed for reporting.

For an entity such as a company or partnership, the fields differ and may include:

• legal business name and main business address;
• company, partnership, charity or trust registration/tax identifiers as applicable; and
• the bank account used to receive platform payments.

JobTackl must use information available to it to check that required seller information is reliable and correct. Providers must keep it updated. A primary address generally needs reconfirming after 36 months if it has not otherwise been updated.

What may be reported

• the required seller identity and tax information;
• amounts paid or credited for each calendar quarter;
• fees, commissions or taxes charged or withheld;
• the number of paid transactions; and
• available payout-bank and account-holder information.

JobTackl will give an affected provider a copy of the information reported about them. Being included in a platform report does not automatically mean that the provider owes tax.

Important services exception

HMRC states its small-seller exception in euros: fewer than 30 sales and no more than €2,000. That exception applies only to certain sales of goods, not the provision of services. JobTackl must therefore not use either threshold to exclude local service providers from its reporting process.

Official information
