Surveys on here and permitted work

bundance

I am on incapacity benefit because I am not well enough to go out to work.
If I started doing surveys on here, and earning the odd few quid, provided it is under 16hrs a week (It will be well under that) do I still have to tell them I am doing the surveys.

Many thanks

technically i suppose you should declare the income,having said that going down that path should we declare clubcard points after all we`ve "earnt"them from hours of shopping

Yeah, it's one of those ambiguous ones isn't it?
BTW, I don't declare my cc points hahhaah

Clubcard points etc. acquired and used in the standard way aren't taxable. They aren't regarded as a taxable benefit. Survey earnings are taxable.

eta tax lawyers have looked into the matter, that's their view -- so far.

Have you sorted out your home problem christine, I read your thread on the buying/selling/renting part of the forum and your thread here made me wonder if you had sorted everything out.

Does this mean that the tax man needs to be informed of any earnings also?
If so, how - keep a spreadsheet and email/post it to them?
Would it be best to write to them as soon as I start doing them, if I decide to?
Thanks, I never thought of the taxman, saves me getting into bother with him.

Hi mealone

Please can you tell me where you get the name Christine from.
It is making me feel uneasy.
I asked you before not to use it.
If I referred to you as someone other than your username, you would feel uneasy, would you not?
Home problem sorted in that I plan to stay here, moving seems too stressful, especially as I like it so much here.
