IS & self employment

fitzilian19

Hi,

Im on IS and have seen an advert for some regular babysitting... I'll be going to have a chat with the mummy who advertised, but so far we seem to be getting on well..

I need to stay on IS in order to get the extra help with things like mortgage interest, but would really appreciate the extra money...

Does anyone know how much you can earn weekly when working self employed and on IS? I'd obviously have to sort out my own tax and NI etc...

I dont want to do anything dodge...

any help would be great!

£20 if you are a single parent, though if you earn any more it is deducted £1 for £1 and you have to work less than 16 hours.

so, if you do childming at home you can work more hours but the cash side of thing stays the same?

does anyone know how to work out what i could earn before tax etc? sorry, this stuff confuses me!
