Maximising income - Mystery Shopping? Surveys? (Part Three)

Tractorgirl it is because if you are already doing one, you can't do another one until your job is completed and there are still jobs free. I am in London and still showing about 25.
This is the same for the place that does a nice 6 inch or 12inch. As done one the other day , once it was submitted I was able to do another because they hadn't been excepted if you get what I mean.

Oh yes, i forgot about that, i to did the 6 inch place (that sounds well dodgy), I could eat 2 lunches in one afternoon, I would take these jobs if i could do more that one as i need to make a special trip.

Off to do a posh pizza place for TNS in a mo, can't wait. I was wondering if anyone could help me out, I'm going to pay my taxes and wanteda bit of help. I have read the instructions on Page 1, but it's gone right over me re: the NI contributions etc. If someone has time to explain it to me, please PM me. Muchos gracias.

Sorry mimi you sent me a PM about this ages ago which I quite rudely didn't get round to replying to!

What is it you need help on? Perhaps it would be better to get the response on the thread so all can see in case it helps....

The 6 inch places are really good- cause i can now do one the day they put them up and then fill out the questionnnaire and can then do one the next day. Bargin and free lunch as just down the road from my work and also one about a 3 min walk from my house. The ones up at the moment are no good to me - but you win some you lose some.

Hi
I did mystery shopping a while back and did a few jobs for tern, RE, TNS, servicescan, gapbuster. But then let it slip for a while. I now cannot find the login area for TNS - can anyone help?

Also, I seem to remember emysteryshopper as being a good one!

If you only work for TNS they do all the tax and NI stuff for you. You will be employed by them and they work everything out for you. If you work for other companies then you will need to do the tax stuff.

I was under the impression that the HRP was only for while you were at home for children and not earning so that you don't lose out on the number of years you need to work to qualify for a state pension. I went back to work p/t last year and now pay a small amount of NI through PAYE as I work for a local authority and they took it automatically.



I just tried looking at the gov web site to see what happens if you start earning again and I can't find any reference to earnings. It just says you get the HRP automatically if you claim child benefit and have given your NI number to the child benefit people - or if you are on income support and are registered as caring for someone who is sick or disabled.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm emailing directgov too so if I get an answer I'll let you know.

I think this is not quite accurate. TNS sort our your tax, but you will have to sort out your NI, usually through a small earnings exemption.

They will do your NI too as you'll be employed - NI on employment income is a different type (class 1 instead of class 2 and 4 which are self employment).

NI is not likely to be featured though as you need to be earning over £435 per month to pay any, and this goes for each employment.

Small earnings exception is not linked to employment - only self employment.
