Yes yes !! I know its a long way off still, but for those who do an 8 week round they're going to be hard pushed to get 2 more visits in before Xmas.

In the event that I am given any tips....I will give those to a charity that I like...

But then again I do not expect much anyhow.

The taxman can insert it into his rectum.

My tips are my tips.
Gifts from customers are not taxable. ::)

For the record, I usually get about £350-400 from less than 200 customers.
I'm expecting much less this year though because I've used wfp and annoyed them. :(

squeaky dont be a smart ass, when you look at tax bill it asks for tips etc, ever seen that section do you pay tax? example: a waitress tips are taxable, someone that knows please let us no's that facts not someone that thinks, as this is where people get into trouble.

and by the way it is window washers can understand you feel you have to knock me if that makes you feel better thats fine, i feel sry for you, always here to help if you need it all you have to do is ask  ;).

must be in bad mood tonight  >:( as not seeing funny side of life

Rubbish mate, seriously!

Regular tips that top up your wages, maybe. (like a waiteress gets).
At Christmas it's a gift for you from the customer, given as a friend.

What you going to do? Send the taxman 22% of the chocolates and wine you get too? ::)

I couldn't care less if someone pops up and tries to tell people otherwise, they're perfectly entitled to xmas tips.

You give your money away, I'll enjoy my DVD's, games, booze and time off. ;)

i understand where you are coming from m8, i think im having a bad night.

tips are taxable i am 99% sure of it, gift (as in family a freinds) customers is classed as a tip for labour, taxable.


gift for you from the customer, given as a friend you are not their freind you are employed by them as you say they are a customer, thats a first rule of business friends and business do not mix  ;)

I once asked this question of a customer I had that worked for the Inland Revenue. Her reply to me was prety much as follows:

Regular tips that make up a fundemental part of your wages each week/month, (such as a waiter/waiteress gets) are taxable.
Tips that occur on an infrequent basis, ie: when a custy says, 'keep the change' or 'have a drink on me,' and gives you a couple of pounds, are not intended to be the target of this law as they do not make up a fundemental part of your wage.

I don't know if this differentiation is still made, as it was some years ago that I was told this, but it made sense to me at the time and still does.

LOL Rog but my earnings are my earnings but he still wants his share.

I'll pop a check in the post for a tenner mate to start the ball rolling.  ;)
