## Separate the money first

Use a dedicated account or clear labels. Platform fees and refunds are not “net profit.” Rough Side-hustle quarterly tax estimate calculator and Self-employment tax beat a surprise bill. Rules in Ireland vary — educational only.

## VAT/GST thresholds

Some hustles hit registration thresholds earlier than you think. Peek at VAT GST and Invoice with tax before you scale ads. When unsure, official guidance for Ireland beats a blog post.
