FAQ
Common questions
Most agencies ask the same things on the first call. Here are the short answers — happy to go deeper on any of them.
How is TikTok Creator Fund income taxed?
Creator Fund payments are taxable as trading income in the UK. Despite the volatility, you need to report all payments received. We track monthly payments and help smooth the tax impact of variable income.
Do I need to pay tax on PR packages and gifted products?
Yes. Gifted products received for creating content are taxable at market value. A £200 outfit gifted for a brand deal means £200 of taxable income, even if you didn't receive cash. We value all gifts correctly.
How do I handle sudden income spikes from going viral?
Quarterly tax planning prevents surprise bills. When your income jumps from £2k to £20k monthly, we immediately adjust tax estimates so you're setting aside the right amount. No year-end shocks.
When should a TikTok creator become a Ltd company?
Generally when annual profit exceeds £40,000-£50,000. Given TikTok income volatility, we model scenarios based on your average and projected earnings to find the optimal timing.
