I pick up quite a lot of GR jobs by just randomly checking their website.

If I get an email, the job has nearly always already gone by then.

do you know this by looking at the 'assignments not aviliable' section. I only get a few crop up every now and again and always after an email has been sent.

Things I'd like to know: why do I never see any of the RE jobs excpet in airports and bad pubs and the occasional sandwich? Does your number of points make a big difference? What about ages? I'm 33. I've got a business email and phone no listed.

Sorry. Very quiet this week and needed a moan!

Why would you need to print stuff? Sorry if I'm just being daft.

i have been mystery shopping since august with gap, so first received payments in september to my bank account.

i admit i was initially doing it for just a quick buck but recently noticed i will have to pay tax. i work full time as well.

do i have until january 31st to get it all done? it seems quite difficult. and do you need receipts for the meals etc as i dont have some of these.

also the registration forms asks for a business address. what address would i put down? my own or gap headquarters?

i dont even do that many mystery shops. only a couple each month so i also intend to fill in the form self employed people with small earnings.

any help will be much appreciated as i really am in a pickle with this and am worried that it all needs to be done by january 31st!

The 31st January deadline is for the 08/09 tax year, if you have only done jobs in the 09/10 tax year (which if you've only been working since August you have) then you don't need to worry.

Business address is most likely your home address.

thank you so much for your reply. much appreciated. i was sweating away here panicking about large fines coming my way for missing the deadline!

in terms of keeping a record then, is it wise to use the spreadsheet on page 1 of this forum? do you then write the revenue a cheque when you have worked out the tax etc by jan 31st 2011? how does doing a tax return work?

thank you
