Greetings,

I am in the process of negotiating English lessons for staff at a local resort hotel, and I am wondering how to do the right thing in the eyes of the tax department. I am not working for an English school/dispatch company. This is a part-time job I have created for myself and am trying to figure out what my tax obligations are for approximately 18 hours of work per month.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you are thinking about using this job to prove income (maybe renewing a visa via self-sponsorship), you should definitely declare your income. This job sounds like it is more than the one-a-week-at-a-cafe type private lesson.
