With the burger jobs, I know you aren't allowed to order any additional items, but are you allowed to upgrade your meal to a large one?

No - you won't get paid if you do (I assume you mean Gap?).

i have a tax question please... i just registered myself (and was late so will be fined £10

but if i have made a net loss at the year end do i still pay tax. I revenue officer said that if i registered for small earnings i would not have to pay NI? but if i made a net loss would i still need to pay tax??

i am confused! also, how would you calculate printing expenses... how much per page? secondly, if i travel by tube for the jobs but have a monthly card can i put it as expenses? do i have to show receipts for the expenses?

You won't pay tax if you may a loss, only on profit.

No, you can't claim your monthly card if you'd buy it anyway without these jobs.

Phew! I go away for 10 days and come back to a brand new shiny thread (Thanks Timmne :A ) and lots of pages to catch up on! Finally up to date and don't seem to have missed many jobs. No wine shops near me - I know as I've got some vouchers for that chain and none of those brands anywhere near!

Anyone been paid for Retail Active jobs for Feb? I did one on 15 Feb on the new online reporting system and nothing yet.

The only other job I did for them was one where I emailed the report & a scanned image of the receipt. Do I need to email the receipt on the new system, does anyone know?

TIA

Hi all,

Hope u can give me some info regarding my 1st MS job :jon this coming monday, its a Pizza buffet lunchtime job. From what I understand it is a reimbrusement payout for this job only and it says that I'm allow to go with upto 4 people for this job, my question is can I pay for my friend that will be coming along with me as well and claim the total for me and her back if it's within the reimbrusement amount?

I understand from the assigement details that if I'm bringing others along, they should order and pay for the food separately as this will affect service times etc, but how can I claim the money for them as well if it's separate receipts? Also, since it's only a buffet job, I don't see how it will affect the service?!

So, can someone clarify for me if I'll be able to bring and pay for my friend as well?
I'm sorry if this sounds a bit naive.:o..I'm inexpereince and am here to learn.

Thanks for any help!

I assume this is for Gap? If so, you will get the full reimbursement sated on your paperwork whether you spend it all or not ! Gap just want the receipt to prove you've actually done the visit - if it comes to less than the stated amount you will get it all and make a small profit (easy if you are on your own but unlikely if you tke a friend!). If the bill is more then you will have to make up the difference out of your own pocket.

I usually take my DH and the reimbursement just about covers us both if one of us only drinks water.

dont worry the notes are notoriously vague even to experienced people...

i havent seen the scenario or done a buffet so cant comment but some one who has will soon no doubt.
