See total gross across every platform, which is the figure the £90,000 VAT threshold and MTD are both measured on.
There is no separate tax regime for people who earn from platforms. HMRC treats you as self-employed, the same as a plumber or a consultant, and that single fact decides everything else.

A platform takes its cut before paying you, and that cut is a deductible business expense. If your records start at the deposit, the deduction is gone and you pay tax on money you never received. It is the most expensive habit in UK platform work and invisible until the figures sit side by side.
Gross means everything the buyer or platform was charged, before fees. People believe they are under £1,000 because their payouts came to £900, when the customer actually paid £1,150. It is per person per tax year, so three platforms at £400 each puts you well past it.
The furnished holiday lettings regime went on 6 April 2025, so a holiday let is taxed as ordinary property income. What still differs is everything around it. A landlord receives rent from a tenant. A host receives a payout from a platform that took a fee, charged the guest separately and reported the gross.
Hosts leave them out because the money went straight to a cleaner. It is part of what the guest paid you, so it is income, and the cleaner is an expense. Netting them off in your head produces a figure that will not match what the platform reported about you.
For 2026/27 that is 6% Class 4 on profits between £12,570 and £50,270 and 2% above, alongside Income Tax at 20% then 40%. The Class 4 lower limit is the same £12,570 as the Personal Allowance, which catches people who assumed one covered the other.
PAYE applies your Personal Allowance to your wages through your tax code, so platform profit on top is usually taxed from the first pound. A side income that felt small produces a bill that does not.
Rates and thresholds are the 2026/27 figures, checked September 2026. For the current position see gov.uk income tax, self-employed National Insurance and property and trading allowances. General information, not advice on your own return.
Self Assessment asks for one set of figures. Most UK platform earners are assembling them from four dashboards, two currencies and a bank statement that shows none of the fees. The Income Tracker holds gross, fees and conversions in one place, so the number you file is the number you can evidence.

MTD for Income Tax applied from 6 April 2026 to qualifying income over £50,000, and steps down to £30,000 in 2027 and £20,000 in 2028. Qualifying income is your self-employment and property income added together, measured gross — before expenses, and before the platform took its cut — so the figure that counts is higher than what reached your bank.
