Yes you need to be paying tax on your commissions. You will need to sort out a tax return if you are in employment. If you are not in employment already, then you should register as self-employed (if your earning merit it) so as to sort out stuff like your NI and that as well. If you’re earning more than £60,000 in a year from commission, you will need to VAT register as well.
The best thing to do is fun up the HMRC and check with them, they can get a tax return sorted out for you or get you down as self-employed, etc.
I have read somewhere that if you get paid through CJ then you may not have to abide to the UK tax rules as the payment is coming from another country, but im not sure i will ring hmrc and speak to them thanks
Hi,
you can find some useful info hereHeres the answers I got when I asked http://www.casinoaffiliateprograms.com/bb/uk-tax-etc.24937.html?
I’ve been having regular telephone conversations and letter-swapping sessions with HM Revenue & Customs over how to declare tax on affiliate marketing. Bottom line is that as a UK resident, anything you earn from anywhere in the world must be declared. Pretty simple really.
Most of my “debate” with them is about offshore reporting, and “research” costs.

Nope. What Simmo said is right : it doesn’t matter what country the source of your income comes from, as a UK citizen, you have to pay tax on it to the UK government.
You need to do two things: 1) register as self-employed. 2) File a tax return.
It might be advisable to find an accountant if you think your circumstances warrant it. You can compare quotes from local accountants here:
It might also be worth you setting up a Ltd company. If you have some decent earnings, this can work out to be tax efficient.
An accountant can advise if it suits your needs.
If you are a non Uk citizen and are non domiciled there may be other options for you but as has been said in this thread if you are a UK citizen you need to pay taxes.
