Class 02Self-employment

The tax half of gig work

You are a business now, whether or not anyone told you. This is the half of gig income nobody explains — and the half where a driver routinely leaves four figures on the table.

What you can do afterwards

Set up a record system in one evening that turns costs you are already paying into a deduction, and stop paying tax on money the platform kept.

Everything inside

What is actually in it

  1. 01What actually changed the moment you took the first trip
  2. 02The two taxes, and why both are calculated on profit rather than earnings
  3. 03Mileage — the deduction that dwarfs everything else, and which miles count
  4. 04The empty miles almost everyone forgets to claim
  5. 05The 1099 trap that inflates your income on paper and taxes money you never received
  6. 06Everything else you are already paying for and can deduct
  7. 07Quarterly payments, the four dates, and the safe-harbour rule
  8. 08Two more reductions people miss entirely
  9. 09The whole system, in twenty minutes a week

Included free, inside the class

The safe-harbour rule — how to be protected from the underpayment penalty without predicting the year.

Every class ends with one

The one page to keep

A final page built to be printed on its own and pinned up — the checklist, the numbers, the exact words, and where to verify each of them yourself. It repeats rather than references, because a card that says “see page four” is a card nobody keeps.

What this class will not do

  • Tell you what you will earn. Nobody honestly can.
  • Motivate you. It is a set of instructions, not a speech.
  • Pad itself. It is 7 pages because that is what the subject needs — the last one is yours to keep.

Rates and requirements quoted inside are set by the companies involved and can change without notice. When they do, the class is corrected — and if you hold the library, you get the corrected version at no cost.
