Do I need to pay taxes on my earnings or have a work permit?

As with all self-employed individuals residing in the UK or Ireland, cat sitters are responsible for complying with their local tax and regulatory framework that applies to self-employment.

 


If you wish to obtain first-hand and accurate information that relates to your query, we would recommend you check the official governmental website for all matters related to self-employment and taxation.
