Understanding Your Tax Obligations with EasyTip
EasyTip is a platform designed to help you collect tips seamlessly, but we are not authorised to provide individual tax advice. However, we can guide you to the right resources to ensure you meet your tax obligations correctly.
Tax rules for tips vary depending on whether you are employed or self-employed, and it’s important to understand how these rules apply to your specific situation. Failing to report your tips properly could result in unexpected tax liabilities, so staying informed is key.
How to Report Your Tips
To make it easier for you, we have provided clear guidance and resources based on your employment status. Select from the options below to find out how you should report your tips:
If You Are Employed
If you work for an employer, your tax responsibilities depend on how tips are received. Some tips may be taxed through PAYE (Pay As You Earn), while others—like those received through EasyTip—may need to be declared directly to HMRC. Understanding how your tips are processed will help you stay compliant.

If You Are Self-Employed
If you work for yourself, tips are treated as part of your business income and must be reported on your Self Assessment tax return. Keeping track of your earnings is essential for accurate tax reporting.
