Second income query

Hi,

I work full time and earn £27k. I also do a bit of mystery shopping and have attended some research panels to get some extra cash. It's only about £30-50 per month but is mainly paid into my bank account. Do I have to pay tax on these amounts? Each assignment I do earns me on averaged £10 and I do 3-5 per month.

Any advice would be great. The mystery shopping companies do not take responsibility and I don't want to be caught out!!

Thanks.
