You are self-employed, and your income needs to declared to HMRC: when a commercial organisation gives you money in return to doing something they want you to do, you are operating under a contract for services. You are operating as a Sole Trader.
You need to register for Self-Assessment and declare the nature of your employment (Market Research & Product Testing?) and the income you earn.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0 -
Call HMRC and ask them. They tend to be quite helpful.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
