Form 11: €5,000 net / year
Below €5,000 of net non-PAYE income, you file the simpler Form 12. Above it, you become a 'chargeable person' and must register for Self Assessment via Form 11 — annual return + preliminary tax. Gross threshold of €30,000 also forces Form 11 even if profit is lower.
Members in this role typically add €7,800/year.
Modeled on a conservative 4 hours/week of contract work at the role's implied hourly equivalent (€39/hr). The Hustle Report Monday editorial finds the briefs and ranks them by fit so the time stays small.
