    Does anyone know if GFK are still doing Phones (for the specific store). I have not seen any of those jobs on for a while.

    TIA

    If you are asking about the ones I think you are then no - they moved to another company

    Am I thinking of the right ones for you?

    Douglas Stafford, there's a hit on the rate, but can do a good premium when it's the end on of the month and they're up !!!! creek.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?

    Dear fellow MS'ers. I just registered with the tax as self-employed for the small amount of Mystery shopping I have started... but has anyone thought, does this effect car insurance? Mortgage? House insurance? They all ask if you use your address for business and I've previously said NO. If something happens this is a potential 'lie' on a submission for insurance? Any input to this? Sorry if it has been asked before but I couldn't see anything.
    Thanks :)

    It affects your car insurance to a degree if you're using it for work, as it's a change of occupation and you'll need business use if you're using ti for work. It doesn't make a huge difference, but it's better declared to keep you legal as getting knacked for driving without insurance is not money saving.

    Having spoken to someone at HMRC that information is wrong.
    You treat reimbursement only jobs as though the reimbursement is the fee, you can then deduct travel and other associated costs against that, the only thing you can't put against it is the cost of the goods/meal.

    Acceptable expenses would be travel, printing and parking.
    The HMRC are investigating my claim. The reimbursement can be claimed as an expense and nothing else.....but we've gone through this before and posters on here do not believe this. The HMRC are investigating the claim due to low income declared and a high number of hours declared for working tax credits. I was claiming the hours spent on reimbursement only jobs for tax credits. No hours can be put down for reimbursement only jobs.
