## 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 South Africa 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 South Africa beats a blog post.
