What about tax?

The £1,000 Trading Allowance

In the UK, the first £1,000 of income each year from trading or services, including renting out an asset like your charger, is generally tax-free under the Trading Allowance. Stay under £1,000 and you usually do not need to do anything. Above it, you would typically declare via Self Assessment. Thresholds and rules can change, so check the current position with HMRC or an accountant.

You are responsible for your own tax

Splash passes your earnings to your wallet. What happens next is between you and HMRC. Most private hosts are not VAT-registered and will not need to be at typical earning levels, though that depends on your wider income. If in doubt, talk to an accountant.

This section is general information, not financial or tax advice. Splash's liability is set out in the Terms and Conditions. Always check with a qualified accountant for your circumstances.
