    I may be legally in the wrong with what I am about to say but I think you should just carry on and not declare it, mate. It's only a bit of pocket money and it's just not worth the hassle to declare it! So many undeserving sods get everything handed to them on a plate in this country! If I were you, I would just carry on with the job and not tell anyone.

    Well said LavenderLily,

    I would just get on and do it mate. The taxman has got bigger fish to fry ( or chow mein to boil:rotfl: ) than you. Keep a low profile !!

    I would get insurance adjusted though just to include business use. It didn`t cost me any extra on fully comp when I had to use car to ferry kids around.They didn`t even ask what business was.

    Don't declare it, becuase your not insured on your car for this. If you have an accident then make sure you don't say your working. Also DO NOT DECLARE this, i'm sick of this government. They will tax you the full 22% on it because it's a second income. F!!! 'em I say. Where's the incentive to work harder? You might lose some benefits if you declare this. it's only £25 for a hard up person working to make it better for themselve.s But the government doesn't liek you and will screw you in the a!!. They only like scroungers to whom they give freely.look at it this way, ur using more petrol, 73% of that goes to the governement. taxed twice, so your paying it don't worry about it

  • Have you seen that new "if" and "but" benefit fraud advert? Your post reminded me of it..LOL.

    I guess if you're claiming benefit and moonlighting, that's plain dodgy. If you're working though (especially as a PAYE), it would be "safer" if no more legal!
