I will be taking on some freelance work for the next few months. There will be no set pattern, few hours here and there and I will be doing this from home. I will be paid in arrears for each job approx 4 week as after each. It won't amount to much, perhaps €400 per month.
I currently receive one parent family allowance. Obviously I will inform them but I am wondering how they can assess as the amount will vary from week to week?
My second question relates to giving up one parent family allowance, which I plan to do soon. If freelance work is then my only income where do I stand in relation to tax? Who do I inform about the money I receive? Does this make me technically self employed? I am absolutely clueless, would be grateful for any help.
