I need some advice. I was made redundant this week and an extra duty I did was to be a key holder for the whole company and be on call 24hr for the alarm system. It only payed £16.99 per month but was hardly ever called out. I have been asked to carry on with this but they have sent me an invoice template to fill out for their accounts department. Would I get into trouble if I didn't declare this money or would a blind eye be turned for just £16.99 a month ? _________________ It's all down to quality of life ! |

Assuming you are asking whether you should pay the tax on it, the obvious answer is always stay on the right side of the law, because is 16.99 per month worth sporting a criminal record for? You'd be unlucky if you were audited but you never know, they are supposed to be random and not based on income size but who knows what the tax man is up to... He's a dodgy fcuker..
The other answer is... You would like to believe that they have bigger fish to fry and in the grand scheme if of things your small income shouldn't be chased down as fraud/tax evasion etc.
honestly, I've been Dj'ing and working security for a number of years and have 'forgotten' to mention the small amount of extra income... But I have no illusions that if I was ever questioned that small or large, law is law and tax evasion is frowned upon and carries the same cosequences.
So I suppose when it comes down to it... There's one question to ask your self.... Do you feel lucky, punk?! _________________ Not man enough for an R1....... FZ1's are cooler anyway |

If signing on, I would ask for deferred payment (until you get another job) or claim that you are doing 35 miles per month (50p mile) in your car to check for break-ins and say that it is purely reimbursement for you outlay.

I phoned the company that are paying me and the accountant answered the phone so I asked her. She told me that all I need do is phone the tax office at the end of the tax year and explain that I've earned a little extra money. Perhaps I will claim all of the money when the job ends. Shame they couldn't say it was expenses for supplying the coffee. _________________ It's all down to quality of life ! |
