Hi all,
I`m doing some work as a mystery shopped. As it stands I get paid a certain
fee for doing a job. Sometimes I can claim certain expenses (such as the
cost of a meal which is being bought as part of a mystery shop), and
sometimes these are included as part of the fee being paid.
As it stands I`m keeping records of the jobs (where, when, for who, fee,
expenses claimed, other costs incurred like parking or public transport).
Is this sufficient, and what do I do for the tax man? Am I self employed,
or not? I`ve never done this before you see
Will it be enough to fill
in a self assessment form at the end of the year, or do I need to contact
the tax man now to get the ball rolling? My main employment is PAYE.
I`ve done my calculations on expenses etc at 40p a mile, but I`m not sure
what I can claim for printing an A4 page on a laser printer - the job
involves a lot of printing (well over 500 sheets of A4 to date this month).
Thanks for your help!
