We start this week’s episode of Inside Business with a look at how influencers have been reminded recently by Revenue of their obligations to pay tax on their earnings.

Siobhan Maguire is a contributor to The Irish Times and wrote an excellent piece this week on this hot topic.

She joins host Ciarán Hancock on the line to go through the many ways influencers expose themselves to tax liability as outlined in a new guide issued by Revenue.

Is there such thing as a free dinner for influencers and what part does non-monetary compensation play?

Also on this episode, Ciarán speaks to young Dublin entrepreneur Luke Joyce about setting up Ireland’s first online subscription window cleaning service.

Luke grew up on a farm in Saggart, Co Dublin, did entrepreneurship at Maynooth University and then set up Thecleaningcompany.ie. The company has gone from strength to strength since it was established in 2019 with projected turnover of €2.5m for this year.

His success cleaning windows recently spurred him into launching new businesses painting houses and doing general maintenance work.
