Tax on a 'cash in hand' job

mark55man

good luck mate.

just take your time when you do the tax form, its not rocket science, but its not without its difficulties

especially if its your first time, I would start it well before you need to so that you have time do all the stuff (and not in a panic) - register online, get your bank statement, ...

Put the money in your pocket and just thiking of the banking crisis and big city bonuses. A few extra quid for you and your family at Christmas is more important than funding gthe scoundrels at the treasury.

which is fine til you get caught.... NOT good advice.

My second job is in shop but I drive to get to it. How do you go about claiming back these expenses then? Surely that would apply to my full time job as well which I drive 30 miles a day to. Thanks.

The only way you'd get to claim expenses back is if you're self employed and this would be tax deductible expenses in your P and L as far as i'm aware....

So like you're ordinary job you can't claim expenses for travelling to and from unless it's through your employer who allows for this....

As playing in a band / being a muscian and the cash in hand work you do is for yourself and you would be filling in a self assessment if you were declaring then this is how you can declare for that.....

But really even with cash in hand and declaring tax you should have some sort of invoice or record in case you get investigated or have an inspection. Otherwise it looks dodgy and can lead to all sorts of impications for others...likewise if the people you get cash in hand from get into bother it's possible you could also get chased up along the audit trail..............
