Скачать или смотреть Self-Employed Warning: HMRC’s New Gig Economy Audits Explained for UK Taxpayers 2025-26 | PTA

HMRC has significantly increased its focus on the gig economy, and many self-employed UK taxpayers are now facing new compliance checks and audits. In this video, Pro Tax Accountant explains what HMRC’s new “Gig Economy” audits involve, who is most at risk, and what self-employed individuals need to do to stay compliant in the 2025-26 tax year.

Pro Tax Accountant breaks down how HMRC collects data from digital platforms, payment processors, apps, and third parties to identify undeclared income and inconsistencies. Rideshare drivers, delivery workers, freelancers, online sellers, influencers, and platform-based contractors are increasingly being flagged where reported income does not match platform data.

This video explains the most common triggers for audits, including missing Self Assessment returns, underreported turnover, cash payments, mixed personal and business bank accounts, and expense claims that do not stand up to scrutiny. Pro Tax Accountant also explains why some self-employed workers are being reviewed years after activity took place, and how backdated tax, penalties, and interest can quickly build up.

You’ll learn what HMRC looks for during a gig economy audit, what records you must keep, and how to prepare if you receive a letter or nudge from HMRC. Pro Tax Accountant provides practical guidance on correcting past errors, making voluntary disclosures, and reducing the risk of penalties during 2025-26.

This video is tailored exclusively for UK self-employed taxpayers working in the gig economy who want straight-talking, practical advice. Whether you work full-time or earn side income through apps and platforms, understanding HMRC’s audit approach can help you protect your income and avoid serious financial stress.
