    Sure it's like surveys and you can receive voucher but cash would effect it, don't know how true this is, sure I have read It somewhere on the up your income forum

    Surveys are treated differently, the vouchers, or odd £5 notes are not a remittance for services rendered they are a gift, and as there is no tax on gifts the 'income' is tax free and not declareable.

    When I took part in clinical trial once, there was a tax declaration to sign on with consent form. Never crossed my mind it wasn't "income"
