Not been on here in a while but just taken some Nikon mags on trial and thought I`d see what is happening when I saw this. I was in this boat when I went semi-pro a year or so back. I`d left work so no need to tell boss but if I had still been there was required to advise them in my contract. No issues usually - just a to do. You should legally declare for tax purposes. I have done so and have my first years tax return waiting to be done. I`ll not end up paying any tax on earnigns as the gear I have bought this year plus what I took in with me (capital allowance) will more than cover the tax that would be due in my first year or two of earning. When I got a job with a big construction comapny entering their preferred contractor list I was required to get public liability cover and I added public indemnity for weddings - costing me around £300 including cover gear per year. Soemtimes special deals at Focus on Imaging / first time sign up.
