Dear all,
Just a random question......I currently take part in paid for research.....ie Ipsos and yougov etc so im paid in vouchers after completing various surveys etc. Should I declare this as earnings to the tax man?
Also I am a member of pigsback which gives you points for spending online and in turn I then get given highstreet vouchers, again would this be looked upon as earnings?

I was wondering the same thing. I was talking to me mum about it earlier and she thinks you do have to but I'm not sure. I never thought you did but I may be wrong?0

no, keep the cash for yourself, you earnt it, you deserve it
you think an MP would declare it?
(actually if it's vouchers you don't have to declare it legally)Martin has asked me to tell you I'm about to cut the cheese, pull my finger.0 -
I think you have too! How would they know anyway though?!I'm Kay, hello everyone!

I don't think vouchers are really can be classified as income.
Unless you live in Soviet Union, where people used to be paid with products they manufacture. I am fascinated how you will put vouchers into Self Assessment certificate
Cash back - Isn't it a discounts/savings from your purchases? :think: Receiving cash back for things you paid for already, like a discount but after purchase.
This is only my opinion :whistle: don't quote me to a tax manHave you got something to share - Do it.

What about money from sites like eBay? Does that have to be declared? Or from car boot sales?0

Unless you are making £100's I personally wouldn't bother.
Not sure where you stand legally though?
By the way all the tips you give service people etc do they declare them? Most I suspect don't.Debts: Virgin Card [STRIKE]£5,600[/STRIKE] £5,636, First Direct [STRIKE]£7,700[/STRIKE] £7,000, Halifax [STRIKE]£3,200[/STRIKE] £3,810, Halifax Clarity [STRIKE]£755[/STRIKE] £711, Tesco [STRIKE]£4,005[/STRIKE] £4,450, MNBA [STRIKE]£6,700[/STRIKE] £6,580, Loan [STRIKE]£15,834[/STRIKE] £15,218 Total: [STRIKE](45K at highest) £43,794k[/STRIKE] £43,4050 -

It does if you bought or made something to sell for a profit, you have to register as self-employed & pay tax if you earn enough.SaveForSummer wrote: »What about money from sites like eBay? Does that have to be declared? Or from car boot sales?
If you are selling your own things that you no longer use or need, then no.0
