Honorarium

nilocmac

I was given an honorarium of roughly £1800 and am just wondering where it goes on my SA.  I earn about £25000 from regular employment and have some rental income.  Please let there be an a easy answer :-)

It shouldn't go on your Self Assessment. It's a contribution towards costs

That would depend on if it was reimbursing costs. OP has not said he had costs. 

I think there is a section for ‘ other income not included on supplementary pages’ after savings interest etc

subject to you confirming what is was for, it is typically treated as noted above, taxable earnings from employment
NIM02205 - Class 1 NICs: Earnings of employees and office holders: Honoraria and similar payments - HMRC internal manual - GOV.UK
 

if you are in fact a "volunteer" then work your way through this guidance - it has 2 outcomes: a) declare as employment or b) as misc income as the case warrants

Thank you everyone for your contributions as with most things there is no easy answer.  'I think there is a section for ‘ other income not included on supplementary pages’ after savings interest etc is the best option for my situation.  It's knocked my refund down by a few hundred £s but better to keep everything above board.
