    I'm a student returning to college this september and I've recently been let go from my job. I'm a fully qualified beauty therapist, and I'd like to offer some treatments from my home in the evenings after college. (Massage, Manicure, Pedicure etc) and I basically just wanted to know, is this legal?

    I considered that perhaps I'd have to register for Tax but students don't pay Tax.. do they? Just wanted some general advice and opinions really!


    Is there anybody here who know does this/knows of other beauty therapists who do this? Any advice or information is welcome.

    Moved from F&A. Didn't know where else would be suitable. :)

    If you make a profit over a certain amount you have to pay tax.

    you would need insurance and technically you would need planning permission to change the use of your house to a business premises.

    you could chance going without either but if someone fell in your house and sued you you wouldnt be covered or if a treatment went wrong you wouldnt be covered.
