This is my first time post so Mod, please move if I am not in the right forum!
My situation is as follows:
I was made redundant in January this year and have been claiming Job Seekers Benefit. I contacted my previous employer about doing some contract work (from home) for them and they have agreed. I am not sure what I need next.
I need to head to the SW office today to "sign-off", will it be okay that I don't have any letter of employment? Do they care as long as they are not giving me money?
I am hoping to make €10,000 between October and year-end, i.e. I will be submitting invoices for this amount over a 3-month period. Is this outside taxable income for 2008, can I just lodge and spend the money?
How do I make personal PRSI payments as someone who is essentially self-employed?
In the past I have heard of people setting themselves up as "companies"? Is this an option?
I worked for 10 years with my previous employer, and it was great having all of this handled at source!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
