Paying tax on second income

[popegregory]

Afternoon all.

I'm a teacher so earning a PAYE salary, and have been offered some part time and occasional work as a music tutor during weekends and holidays. The guy offering the work is straight as a die and wants everything invoicing properly which leads to my question - what do I need to do and how do I accurately declare any monies earned? Is an invoice just a piece of paper acknowledging receipt of wages? Who do I tell about it?

Hope you're all having a nice bank holiday.

Thanks all. Think I'll ring them on that number provided and see what they say. Does anyone know if it affects my PAYE status or are the two seperate?

Eric, that's marvellous, thank you very much. I'll sort that this week.

Would I be right in thinking that a legitimate expense would be a £600 drum kit, leaving earnings of about £250 unscathed?
