Freelance Tax Club for Creatives

Information

Join us for the first of a number of year-round CPD sessions for creatives, exploring the business of being a writer. We're delighted to kick off this series with Freelance Tax Club, run by Christy Ku!

Tired of panicking about your taxes alone? Let’s get through them together! Christy Ku of Miscellanea Labs is the go-to friend for tax questions. Join her in this gentle supportive space!

We’ll begin with a brief refresher on how to file your taxes as a freelancer. Then, we’ll walk through the new Making Tax Digital changes. Attendees can use this as a chance to get started on their 2025-26 tax return in community, and ask questions to Christy and each other.

Testimonials

“I actually finished my taxes in the session!”

“The workshop was very useful for someone who very little knowledge of self-employed taxes. Christy was great at answering all our questions and I left feeling far more confident that I will not be committing tax fraud (fingers crossed).”

“Thank you so much for this workshop! It was incredibly helpful. It's really important to create spaces where creative freelancers can connect and share knowledge, especially about the more "bureaucratic" side of the job...”
