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!!

:D

how lovely.

what a nice dad.

well done x

Woo hoo!! Why can't they all be like that?!:D:thumbsup:

I got a tip the other day, was owed £39, given £40 and told I coud keep the change!! Woohoo for me! <insert sarcastic face!> (as i can't find one!)

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

I will pocket the £1 I was given...don't tell the tax man!!!

:laughing: Think of all the things you could buy......

Exactly! That's why it's going in my pocket!
I'm going on a spending spree! Woohoo!!

what a nice parent!:clapping:

What a lovely parent!!

I have one parent who insists on paying me £5 an hour during the holidays even though my rate is £4 :thumbsup:

Exactly! That's why it's going in my pocket!
I'm going on a spending spree! Woohoo!!

Towards an ice cream on 21st???? ;)

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

Lucky you:jump for joy: when my parent overpays and i have no change they say oh just knock it off next month even if it's only £1 could just say keep it

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.

What a lovely parent:)
