Forming a partnership to split your income
You’ve been doing some freelance work and what started out as a modest side hustle is now taking off. You’ll need to pay tax on the profits but is it possible to reduce it by splitting the income with your spouse?
Taxpayers who are due additional tax relief on their pension contributions, i.e. higher or additional rate taxpayers who are not within self-assessment, can ask HMRC to amend their PAYE code to include the tax relief. Prior to 1 September 2025, only some of these taxpayers were required to provide evidence of the contributions made. Since 1 September, HMRC will only accept claims made using its online service or by letter and evidence must be provided to support the claim. A statement from the pension provider or payslips showing the contributions made will suffice.
