Tutor needing to pay tax?
Hey there,
I'm a 18 year old tutor in Brisbane, Australia, and I was wondering if I'm suppose to pay taxes. I currently do not, is what I'm doing illegal? I dont have a solid amount of students or anything, they just call me if they need me and decide another lesson or not on the spot. But I do save spots for them just in case. And I dont rely on this job at all. I dont earn a whole lot as I dont have many students. Please help with this confusion as I dont know if I'm doing something illegal or not. If this helps, I earn no more than $800 a month, at most, if I'm lucky.
Thank you.

Are you paid in cash? Technically what you're doing is illegal.But generally people can fly under the radar with cash only enterprises as long as you're not making too much cash. If you're cash flow starts to increase you may need to go ahead and declare that income, as the government may start to notice a rise in your standard of living. It doesn't sound like its that much right now. I wouldn't worry about it. If you decide to go into this full-time at some point you'll have to declare it a business, and then the government gets their piece.
