 Do what you think is right.

 You pay tax at 10% on the first bit of wages and then 22% on the next tier.Your tax allowance is probably greater than 1300 anyway.
 Just do it - Not quite sure how you will get a £100 penalty if your tax return is not late. Not everyone gets one to fill in anyway?1/11/06 -1/06/07 BSC #42

            Ok lets look at this from an outsiders view,
 Monday 5th feb @ 20:00
 Im crossing a road between 2 parked cars (rightly or wrongly) You hit me in your car and im unable to work ever again, Your insurance policy is void as your doing a take away delivery .. I now have to take you to court and sue you personnaly for damages.
 was that £30 for the night worth it ? Considering your car insurance premium would probably have been £200 plus for the year that you have just wasted and then you have court costs and compensation etc.
 next example,
 You are working for £30 a night, after only 1 week someone grasses on you, you loose tax credits / council tax benifit etc you get pulled before " No ifs No buts" you get a criminal record from fraud .. was that few nights worth it ?
 Look at the risks and gains your looking at making £30 but risking a hell of a lot more.If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

 :wall: WARNING RANT AHEAD!
 If you participate in this economy then it's a bit of a trade off, you take the benefits and you make a contribution, according to your means and circumstances. You can't blame another section of society for your ills, that's just reciting the nonsense off the front of the Tabloids.
 I have served in the Army for 25 years, I joined to get a bit of training and education, after wasting my school years. I have done many things I didn't want to do. But I'd signed up and so: Falkland Islands, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq last year and Afghanistan next year just have to be swallowed.
 And 40% of my salary goes in tax! I pay out over £1100 each month in tax and NI. Each year I complete my tax return and declare any income from shares savings etc and 40% of that evaporates too. Do I like it?, not really! Am I prepared to pay? yes because I can drive on lit roads, my children are educated, my health care is free, I can look forward to a pension and people like you, who are less fortunate, have a safety net, that makes our society civilised, and stops us degenerating into anarchy.
 So just because your delivering pizza, on a dodgy insurance policy, while your brother does a few "cash in hand jobs" and nobody gets hurt, doesn't make it right. The money you are taking and/or not paying, is coming out of my pocket, while I will be seperated from my family for six months to do this countries bidding.
 I'd swap you for a "foreign" worker every day! in a heart beat!
 My father wasn't born in the UK......maybe I'm just one of those foreign trouble makers with their free houses and handouts?

            My feelings towards immigration issues are always as follows........Britain is a country BUILT on immigration.............I defy anybody to be able to claim themselves as 'pure' British!! Look through the ages, Norman, Saxon, we are BUILT on the marriage of a variety of cultures, so lets not go down the accusatory road of who is here doing what.......we are all our own people and should NOT be condemned for who we are or who we worship (or not, as the case may be!). As MM, says, the laws are as they are, sometimes they benefit us, sometimes they don't. But don't blame others when they don't. Debs.0
