On mileage, I'm going on a day out this w/e and doing an assignment then. Is it legitimate to claim my entire round trip mileage for this- even though this means the day is technically a tax loss?

If so do people accept low-paying assignments at places they are going anyway so the travel costs can count against tax?

Strictly speaking you should not claim the mileage, an audit will show you doing jobs for a tax loss and this will throw up a huge red flag.

Hi, I have been checking the MF jobs the last few days and I have nothing showing available except in filtered out. I have quite a large area but nothing at all showing. Has anyone else got nothing showing except airport / train station shop visits in filtered out? Thanks in advance.

Yes me too tizzy79. Weird as I can see the jobs on the app. I have emailed them about it.

Liking the look of the new lawmate with the Wifi on. Anyone tried one yet?

Hope you can set the AP to invisible, can just imagine walking in somewhere and everyone's phone telling them there's a new hotspot available and asking if they'd like to connect to MYSTERY-SHOPPER-COVERT-VIDEO

Looks like a way to burn through battery life if you ask me, I can't think of any reason to have WiFi on a recorder.

Exactly the same here for me. 0 Available, and a couple filtered out (mainly airport and service stations). It's weird because there are always jobs available for me on MF.

Edit: can also see the jobs via their EyesOn app, just not on their website.

I understand that they have problems with their website but don't know when it's likely to be fixed

End of the month following the month you did the job. From my spreadsheet around the 28th to 3rd of the month depending on bank hols.

Being able to start and stop it from your phone as well as do your preview checks with the recorder in place.

Being able to check it's running at a quiet moment mid-shop would really lower my stress levels too
