Weekend work?

[double d]

Wounder if any one can help
i work full time monday to friday, but would like to work on weekends for my self, would i have to pay tax NI on top of what i pay now? ive heard that if you only make a few bob here and there then dont have to is this true?
Thanks

Depends on your earnings but probably - otherwise everyone would work on the weekends and leave Monday to Friday free for shopping and entertainment?

Would you only work weekends and not through the week?
i know that i wouldnt, misses would drive me mad!

it all depends how you declare your earnings mate!!!!!!!

if you want to do things properly you have to declare it - if your full time job gives you more than the 6000 or so that you need to earn to pay tax you'll pay tax on your earnings from the weekend.

you also get to declare your expenses so tools fuel etc, so basically you should be ok.

All you have to do is, is to register yourself as self employed.
You then pay tax on profits and you still pay NI, But a different class. You run your business like all the other self employed plumbers on here.

Your normal day time job just goes on as normal, you dont pay more tax or NI on that, cause you already pay the extra tax and NI on you self employed business.( which is seperate)

Because you earn more then 6k on your normal job, that means that even if you sell something for £1 on ebay you will legally have to declare that £1 and pay tax on it.

hmmmmmm dont think i want to go down that route tho lol

flyers and cards and go for a pint every friday after work - tell the missis its for advertising purposes - youd be suprised at how many jobs you get from the lads/tradesmen in the pub after work

I work Monday to Friday in a call center and have recently put a flyer near reception for evening and weekend work ("domestic plumbing services"). 2 weeks later and hey presto!! My first job!!
I'm also doing the Friday thing in my local which is followed by advertising in the kebab shop on the way home!!
Good luck mate.
