I bloody hope so!
I donāt think they will, they are raking it in from luring in the gullible!
Now that Zara are doing affiliate links all the fashion instawankers are absolutely caning them! 
Just goes to show what theyāre interested in is making a buck rather than recommending good quality, sustainable purchases. DMB regularly slagged them off, now sheās doing changing room try ons with swipe ups a plenty 
Disclaimer; I love Zara but we all know that the quality is often shite.

DMB regularly slagged them off, now sheās doing changing room try ons with swipe ups a plenty Disclaimer; I love Zara but we all know that the quality is often shite.I refuse to ever swipe up to one of those links. I think they leave cookies on your device for more than one visit to the site. I see dmb is also doing them for Christmas gifts. It's so obvious that its all about earnings. It makes it so easy to see something, want it, buy it when you probably didn't want or need it anyway. They cannot say they are not influencing people to buy stuff when they do that.Now that Zara are doing affiliate links all the fashion instawankers are absolutely caning them!
No. They are viewed as items needed to do their job, ie reviewing and sharing with their followers. The payment they get on top for doing so (most brands will be paying on top of supplying gifted items) needs to be declared but not items being reviewed.
My understanding is that if a gift is made, whether a holiday or actual item with a prior agreement to produce content then it has to be declared. A grey area is when gifts arrive āout of the blueā with no agreed prior arrangement to produce content. I think as things stand at the moment it does not have to be declared even if the influencer goes on to produce content. I think this is an area that Iām sure will be tightened up at some point in the future. How do the brands get the influencers address in the first place for the āout of the blueā gifted items to be delivered. You would assume that a conversation takes place behind the scenes to arrange delivery and possible exposure. I would imagine in most instances the brand will say something along the lines of āno obligation but If you love said item would you share on your accountā.
Iāve no idea re affiliate income though - can anybody clarify?
Affiliate income must be declared as it is earnings.
Gifts / items sent for review / holidays do not have to be declared as they are viewed as "tools of the trade". This is why influencers post so much when they are away with brands like Destinology and show us so much of the extras / the beach / the spa, they are selling the brand to us (read ramming it down our throats) and trying to prove they are not "just on holiday". They are posting to prove they are working so when HMRC look through their feed they will see numerous posts to support that.
As i said, any item sent for review that comes along with a payment needs to have the payment declared as this is earnings, but items do not. So all those dresses, shoes, Gousto boxes are not included on self assessment
We had to pay tax on cabs home after working late, (after 11 pm) over a certain amount. I donāt know if this applies now. Think it was called benefits in kind.
Who knew they got 7% from affiliate links? That was quite an eye opener for me, i thought it was less. Thatās really going to add up when youāve a lot of followers!
If you think about the income they could generate by selling a lot of the stuff they are gifted, it really should be taxed in some way. It would be difficult to police though. Think about the sales that go through pages like preloveddesignersale, it could make a lot. I know some donate the proceeds to charity but not all
I had no idea

Are you sure? Iāve been reading up on this on many U.K. taxation websites and the value of gifted holidays are deemed taxable and need to be declared if some agreement has been made with the brand to promote it.
Here is a link to one of the many websites that explain āinfluencerā taxation.
