I pick up a 9yr old girl on an infrequent basis from our local school, she's lovely so I have no problem at all with it being an irregular thing I just invoice the parents monthly on the days they've used.

July's invoice was for £28 but the Dad gave me a cheque for £50 when he picked her up tonight as he says I do such a good job I should charge more!!

forgot my question.... what do I do tax wise? Just treat it as £50 payment or £28 payment and the rest gift?

I got a great bonus this pay day. I was over paid by £243.00! parent had paid the total rather then the total minus the voucher. I thanked the parent for the lovely bonus! It's lovely to get a bonus though I got one at xmas. x

Wow lucky you.

I would love a bonus but struggle to get the amount they actually owe me out of some of them so cant see it happening anytime soon

hahahaha to be fair another parent who paid me this week was £2 over and said "just knock it off next month".

In answer to your original question it's a gift not earnining so no you don't need to declare it. The same way as if you got money for your birthday or Christmas.
