I guess it’s sitting on a lot of people’s dash board, just in case they increase the pay rate.

Can't get rid of the darned thing. Suspect it's going to be there for weeks.

That's what I'm waiting to see!

I passed qualification but no studies have come up for me yet. Wasted an hour and 45 minutes on that thinking the pay of the actual studies must be better, surely!?

How do you know you passd qualification? Nothing has come up for me yet, but I'm still in the Project Catalyst group so wondering if that means anything!

I just guessed I was because on the Catalyst page it says 'qualification approved' but now I think about it, it doesn't mean that I've definitely passed, I just thought I had!

I received a ton of studies of AI studies by "Researcher Auto Pilot" the 31st of January. I completed them and made around $200. Then I never got them again, at least for now.
Should I expect to start getting them regularly, like the Galactic Probe/Vortex Oasis ones?

You wouldn't pay tax on the whole lot. You would pay tax on the amount above £1000 which you earned from "side hustles", including survey taking. You would also pay tax on any interest about £1000 earned on your savings, but the two are separate. Caveat: I am no expert, and DYOR is always recommended!

I spoke with my financial adviser this morning and he said the whole lot would fall into taxable income. I have no other earned income though, so it might be my circumstances which affect this.

Maybe you need an accountant rather than a financial advisor!
