Thanks CTE1111.

I really do think honesty is the best policy....but i still feel worried about getting a tax bill of thousands...

Good luck with sorting things out DJ Chris, cant see you getting a bill for thousands however if you are only earning an extra £50 a month or so.

With regards to claiming for travel costs, what if you don't have a car but are paying for travelcards on the days you are doing MS?

If anyone could help clarify the above I'd be most grateful. Thanks.

I have done two of these this week, can you tell me a bit more about the problem? I will be gutted if I don't get payment.

There was nothing specifc within their comments as to why they had not paid for the assements but just stating that they need it done properly ie putting details comments in the reply box etc rather than one or 2 worded answeres as they feed it back to the client.

as long as oyu have read the senario and done it correctly and done a proper review then you should be okay

i have been with gfk for 3 months and they have only come back once asking for some further information relating to a report that i submitted .


if you have givean all the information then i wouldnt worry about it - you should be okay.

I believe that on the previous thread, someone said that if you are using a weekly/monthly travelcard, then you should only claim a proportionate cost. I.e. if you have a monthly travelcard and do MS shops on 9 days, then use 1/30 of the cost of the travelcard on each day that you MS.

If you buy single travelcards for each day, then obviously claim the cost of that day's travelcard each day that you MS.

Compare him to the poor poster who is terrified as they haven't declared MS'ing income and ask yourself which one is the crook.[/QUOTE]

Holly - you have misunderstood me completely!!! I wasn't suggesting that the OP was like the Speaker or that the OP was 'on the fiddle'! If you look at my posts again, I think (hope!) you will realise that I was offering some constructive advice and trying to reassure the OP that he isn't about to be carted off in chains.

I have no time at all for the Speaker - or any of the rest of the devious so and so's in Parliament who, while they may not have actually been doing anything illegal, have most certainly offended all of us lot big time by their greedy working of the so called rules. I, and most other peoplei know, work darn haerd for what we've got. Times are hard and we've all cut back - seemingly to fund a continuing wonderful lifestyle for the MPs.

My comment about consulting the Speaker was a cynical joke not an insult to the OP!!!

I think this is useful. I was going to out use of home as £10 per month based upon something I read in here but it is actually £3 a week which on our low wages will work out as a big difference. Thought some of you might be interested

That good, but can we calim £3 even if we do only 1 job in the week, or should we divide that each day we work? i.e work 2 days claim £3.00 divided by 7 times 2 = 86p

No just do it per week - it's the cost of running your business, not the cost per job of administering it.
