it really depends - is it worth it? How many companies you sign up with, the jobs they offer,etc.

Then there are the costs, paying for printing, travel, purchases, etc.

and the changes to tax credits? I am not sure. They have increased your earnings limit before you pay tax but reduced tax credits, so it maybe one of the other and half a dozen of the other.

with self employment, you need to make sure you keep your receipts, prints out of jobs, and keep a good record of what you pay for, ie printer, paper, travel, how much you get paid, take some out and put it in a separate account for tax, if you need to pay it. At the end of the year when you submit your self employment assessment form, it will tell you if you need to pay tax and how much.

Sounds quite complicated!! Maybe I will stick to ebay, swagbucks etc for now

£77.94 ISA interest to add - I'm so sad, I have been getting increasingly excited about choosing my new ISA, I'm slightly obsessive about it. OH is rolling his eyes at my exuberance as we speak

Dizzybrunettegirl - you should join in 'officially' anyway, I don't always get even close but it's so much fun trying. And lets face it, even if we don't make our target, any extra cash is a win anyways xx

I am thinking about mystery shopping but is it really worthwhile? The thought of declaring myself self employed is scary and also will it affect my tax credits does anyone know?

try checking on the HMRC website ("Am I eligible for tax credits" or something- haven't been there for a long time), you can input some income figure to give you an idea whether it would affect TC at all. also you'd have to declare some average working hours so maybe it would be worthwhile to check the mystery shopping thread to see how much people are doing (i.e. 2hrs/week, 10 hrs /week..? etc)

PS. Being self-employed isn't scary at all

36p ISA interest for me :rotfl: Oh well, every little helps!

I've been wondering about MS as well especially as I'll be needing to do a tax return next year anyway. I must take some time and have a good read about it all.
