It should take about 10 working days. If it take longer than a fortnight I'd chase it up.

Hi
I joined Dooyoo about 2 months ago and have since made around £90, I reedeemed them for £40 of Amazon vouchers and a £50 cheque. I just wanted to check that the cheques I receive are not taxable?
Many Thanks

As far as I know, I think they are taxable and you're supposed to register as self-employed and complete a tax return. I think the tax people can fine you as well if you don't! :-O Anyone else know for sure??

LJC89

thanks blondecaz, think I will send HMRC an email and ask!

You dont need to register as self employed as you are not in business in the sense that this is a regular income. The tax on £90 is well below the HMRC threshold where they wont be interested in you, but if your liability creeps above the £100 mark, then you simply need to ask for a self assessment at the end of the year and declare the income under sundry untaxed income.

Ok fengirl many thanks. I am looking to earn around £50-£100 a month so I will do a self assessment

fengirl_2

Yes, but dont rgister as self employed - self assess as casual fees.

LJC89

Ok great, thanks fengirl

Hi all,
Just to let you know I have just got off of the phone to HMRC, I have had to register as self employed as I am also employed by my father for admin work at £225 a month. I mentioned dooyoo and both people I spoke with agreed that earnings are taxable and must be written on the self-assessment form in April

Hang on. If your only income is £225 plus £100 pm you are way below the tax threshold.
