MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD XVI - please, no mention of client names or fees on here

Not pedantic in the slightest:

"The image that you have uploaded should have the receipt underneath the (sandwich) as instructed in the job notes and not have the receipt next to the (sandwich). This is a strict requirement set by the Client. We will allow the image through on this occasion but please ensure that in future all images are in accordance with the job notes."

The client obviously realises their sandwiches look better when obscured by a receipt :rotfl:

Hi there and thanks in advance for any help.

I am currently employed earning aprox £7.5k and pay tax and nat ins via this employment.
I have recently started a self employed job which earns me aprox £100 pm, this was on a trial but is working out ok so just about to register self employed(within 3 months as required) but I am keen to do Mystery shopping too, so my question is can I register once for all self employed ventures? or do i register them seperatly?
I know about the record keeping etc as i had to do this for hubby when he was self employed.

Any help appreciated xx

Once you're registered, you're registered. My situation's a tiny bit different from yours in that I'm in a partnership and do MSing as a sole trader, but I rang the Revenue and they said there was no need to re-register; just to put it together on the tax return (obviously mine goes on separate pages because of being sole trader/partnership, but you get the idea.)

Either way, mention it to HMRC when you register and they'll give the most up-to-date information - in theory...

OMG! I got this email too. !!!!!!! Also, what if the receipt they give you is like really small like I got yesterday. If I put it under the butty, it would not be visible full stop.

PS. Is anyone actually doing the jewellery shops they have on RE for the measly fee they offer? Basically they want a full proper report for the pittance they are offering. I don't think so!

PPS. Finally did my first visit for ESA. It was well cool. And the report was really easy to do too. Eggs, here I come!

*cough* Yes... (that'll be a present for somebody.) Saying that, I'm really excited that when said sandwich meal is processed, I get to FIVE HUNDRED POINTS with RE. I'm hoping that something exciting happens, and yet strangely enough, I know it won't..

Oh dear. Did one today and the receipt is next to the sandwich.

They never look anything like the photos in the shop anyway!!

Actually just thought for this one we take photos of the shop, the sandwich and receipt and the receipt on it's own. What's next? Please take a photo of the MOS discreetly whilst in the queue?? :rotfl:

I look forward to that one (though I should say that the requirement for the photo of the shop has now gone, which is always handy!) I really can't see the difference: there's some rules where I can see why they're imposed, but this is just daft...

sandwich shops
its because people were sharing images of sandwiches.
