taxable pups

[geoff1057]

[bednobs]

depends on yur tax cde and what other income yu have. Short answer = yes

[buildersmate]

You are taxed on the profit you make - what you sell the pups for less the cost of breeding them.

[Skyline D]

If you are deliberately trying to make money doing it then, yes, you are carrying out a trade and it's taxable.

If it's a hobby and you price the pups roughly to cost and it's pure coinicidence that in one particular year you make a profit then, no, it wouldn't be taxable. But if we're talking �5k per annum with profits every / most years then you wouldn't be able to resist HMRC defining it as trade.

[jedimistress]

Yes you can, and you could lose your benefit entitlement too.
