cash in hand jobs,,

lol sounds a bit rude,

i just started doing delivering for my local chinese take away,

1-2 days a week so far, i get 10 quid petrol money a night and £1.20- £4.00 per order, its good cos inbetween orders i can go home cos i live like 5 doors away from the place :money:

sooo should i tell cccs about it?
its not guaranteed and it will vary from day to day??

    You will need to declare it to the taxman at least. As you mention CCCS I assume you're on a DMP? I personally would tell them, but make it clear that it's a small amount that varies each week - they can then advise you on whether to send some of it to your creditors.

    The law says you declare it.

    If you elect not to and you get caught, then expect no sympathy.

    Clapton is right. If you are using your car for business purposes (not just commuting), you have to tell the insurance company and pay an increased premium. You may already be covered for business use, but you will need to look at your policy schedule and check. I have business use, but it's only another £20 a year or so.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.
