I'm self employed so already keep tax records for that. can i keep ms jobs in the same accounts and lump it all together or do i have to have a seperate account for ms?

Sorry no idea - timmne's the expert on this.

No you'll need to have seperate accounts as they're different trades - you'll probably find that MSing is so fiddly sometimes to keep track of you'll be glad to keep it seperate!

2 months ago I drove to Heathrow (75 miles) parked for the day (£10) took a return flight to Brussels (£250ish) had catering each way (£6+£6) and drive home again (75miles). Put it into my tax spreadsheet and I made a £2 loss. Not bad for a nice day out, and I got to buy lots of choccies too! (didn't put that in my taxes ). Thought that was quite a perk :j

This is like the holy grail of mystery shopping! I dream of doing this but instead I have to go to a crummy shop and see how much 'susan' smiles. :rolleyes:

just been looking at Bare and have signed up (just not filled the bank details yet). I can see jobs local to me which is great, but am just wondering what happens when you get paid in euros? how does the exchange work and do I need to do anything or have a different bank account? ta!
