  • realistically what are the implications of this being taxed etc - could i just do it for an month - get £50 then not bother with it and therefore not do tax forms?

    I'm not 100% sure but since they collect NI numbers I wouldn't risk not filling in the tax forms.

  • I've been doing online surveys for a few weeks now (been keeping me busy over the summer holidays!) and hadn't thought of the tax implications for those until signing up for ChaCha. If we're having to file a tax return for this, do the same rules apply for the online survey sites?

    I think officially yes but most people don't and view the rewards as gifts not payments.

    Form CF10 is a class 2 NICS exemption form. This is for self-employed people with low earnings.

    Have you registered as self employed first ?

    What are the strangest/funniest questions people are getting asked? I've just been asked what happens when you swallow j*zz!! And the worrying thing is, I'm not sure if that was a practice question (it looked like one and had no history!!) LOL

    I have had practically no real ones - I have probably answered over 500 questions and I would say that at the very most 15 were real.
