    I doubt it. Or the govenment seriously needs to do something. There's thousands of people on survey sites. What about cashback???

    I think I'll look more into it though. Just in case.

    From what I can see from googling this, any income, whether it be cash (paypal etc) or vouchers should be declared as self-employed income. Thinking about it logically (bearing in mind I'm no tax expert) if you receive paypal income and transfer it into your Bank account, and in the future have to submit bank statements to HMRC they are going to query that income. However how are they going to know if you have received vouchers without checking your Amazon account etc? It is all slightly worrying, though, in this age of Big Brother (and I don't mean the TV program)

    There's a 78sb PeanutLabs survey - but they are wanting students. If there are any students on here, I hope you get accepted for it

    It asked if I was a student and was all about where I buy food and what I think of the meals at the canteen :)

    I'm a student of Swagbucks, but I don't think that would have counted for me :rotfl:

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Has anyone had the following TS?
    Gfk TS 208328
    50SB

    The survey wants you to keep a diary for 3 days of what drinks you consume (exc hot drinks) and where you may have consumed them. I filled in for today, but am reluctant to close the page as I am not sure when the SB's are awarded as they say bonus sb's awarded after completion. Also there is no diary to download, so I don't know when/how I'd access it again?

    I asked over in the tax subforum about paying tax on online earnings... It seems like everyone has a different opinion on it, but the overwhelming impression I got is that you can earn £190 a week without paying tax and that surveys/sites like this are unlikely to push you over the threshold (£300 pounds a year on AGCs is far far from £190 a week, even if you make that).

    To take the situation and place it offline, a.k.a. if you actually let those annoying clipboard people survey you in the street and they gave you a £5 voucher for your trouble, would you declare it? Can HMRC take XX% of a gift certificate? I know PP will be slightly different, but it's still not a consistent income such as website+ad revenue stream or being a prolific ebay seller (BOTH of which you have to pay tax for AND register as self-employed).
