Mintly Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hello! I've just joined, so please bear with I'm recently retired (still working freelance in website development though) and I have 4 chickens and sell their eggs. I am extremely borderline with my freelance work and pension, and selling the eggs pushes my income above the personal allowance amount according to this online tax calculator. Should I be worrying about this? Hoping someone here does something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmashazzie Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 You must be extremely honest Mintly. With 4 girlies you must not sell a huge number, am guessing just to friends or acquaintances. Could you just ask for donations to their upkeep,then it would not be income as such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia W Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I suspect if you add it all up, ( housing, food, vets bills etc ) your costs over a year will far outweigh your income from the eggs. My eggs have always been gold plated. So I wouldn't worry. Also, it's will reduce as they age and stop laying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
