    HI all,

    OK this is probably a really stupid question but - if you only earn vouchers and say £100 in cash a year through mystery shopping - then do you still have to register for tax purposes? :confused:

    forgive me if this is an obvious question. :o

    Many thanks for all replies.


    Yes the cash strapped government will be after you..make you sure you make a paper loss so you do not need to give them anything

    @pebblespop - I've populated the business details, but still nothing!

    I wonder if UI can't see the phone and casino jobs because I'm still in "propdationary" status?

    This takes 24hrs to take effect and all the jobs are gone now so you would not be able to see them

    Have just filed a report for GFK for a mobile phone shop and found it really difficult to write as much as they wanted and felt the questions didn't make a lot of sense and repeated themselves, please someone tell me it's not just me, has anyone else done these?

    It's a nice little Supermarket - wish they had them in Glasgow!

    I know a lot of companies do their own "in house" Mystery Shopping - maybe they do that, where they just use people known to them or it could be through a MS company.

    Off out to Glasgow now for three more coffees, enquire about Digital TV and book ANOTHER holiday to Greece! (I wish!!)

    Empty your MAIL BOX.

    The HOTELS are still there.

    I can't see any hotels! GUTTED!

    There are 50 on there right now.

    Have you set up the filters correctly on RE?

    I have set about 4-5 cities each with a 50 mile radius + have virtually all the filters ticked.

    how many jobs have ppl done with react??? i hardly ever hear from them!!! anu suggestions?????

    I used to do quite a few but now haven't done any for months. I don't think I've even heard from them this year. They've lost quite a few clients so I think work is slow for them. Send them an email to see if they have anything in your area. They used to do phonecalls too.

    I thought that at first but once you understand the written questions, it's easier IYSWIM. You need to separate the yes/no factual stuff from the 'it was good/bad' subjective stuff. The more you do the easier it gets. I recommend saving your answers in a word doc then you can copy/paste and edit for next time to be quicker.

    Sunshine - Yes; see first post of this thread for excellent Timmne advice.
