I have searched through the forums to no avail. I am a paye worker who filled in for a friend who was stuck at the weekend and got paid cash for a job but also gave my pps no. and address. Do I need to declare these earnings or have I given enough info so the revenue can deal with it?

thanks
 
You need to check with the employer, if they used your PPS number to tax you emergency as a once off employee then you should get a P45 which will show the pay and tax. Depending on the emergency tax operated you may have overpaid but you could balance that by filing the p45 and your regular p60 at year end.

If, although you provided PPS number etc. the employer has treated you as "self-employed" then you need to file that yourself. For small amounts you can do that at year end on the regular tax return Form 12 under other income.

Pray that this isn't the case! - You'll have opened up a whole nasty can of worms if it is. These forms are horrendous, and revenue will haunt you.
(YMMV of course)
 
Can you not just ask were you taxed PAYE on emergency, if you were then there is no great problem.
 
I have a feeling it would be as self-employed as I was filling in for a dj friend for a night. But I will contact them and find out.
thanks for the help guys.
 
Just put it on your paye tax return as "other income" and the revenue will deal with it on your balancing statement. You could use the form filling opportuntity to reclaim medical expenses etc
 
I have never filled out a paye tax return though? I also found this on the revenue site:

If you have a PAYE source of income and your total non PAYE income net of allowable expenses does not exceed €3,175 (or €50,000 gross of allowable expenses), the tax due on these payments can be collected by means of an adjustment to your Tax Credit Certificate. If you exceed this limit you are required to register for Self Assessment.

This would apply to me so is it I who makes the adjustment on the Tax return form 12 and can it be done online? thanks
 
That's it. You may not have filled in a form before because you were not claiming additional reliefs such as medical expenses. If you earn money under the rent a room or childcare schemes or earn deposit interest you must put them on this form in order for them to get the relevant exemptions. You can fill the form in on line if you register with revenue, I find it easier to print off and fill in so I don't have to do it all at once. You will not have to fill in the form for money earned this year until next year (2010).
