So I have this side hustle (content creating on a not so well known website) on top of a full time job. I’m aware that you are supposed to contact HMRC if you earn more than £1000 from this. I almost have done so the side hustle is currently on pause. I do NOT want to have to notify HMRC and work see that my tax code has changed as I’m certain in my contract at my full time job is states that this is the only job I can have. I would like to know if anyone has any good ideas for a way round so I don’t have to notify HMRC. I’m not trying to dodge paying tax, I just don’t want work finding out mainly. Any suggestions at all would be good or is it time to give up the side hustle.
I am from the United Kingdom btw

I can’t help with ways around HMRC rules. If you’re over £1,000 you’re usually expected to register for self assessment. Worth checking your contract and asking HR about second jobs. You might be allowed it with approval. Keeping it separate won’t stop reporting though, just be careful and stay compliant.
