I read through suggestions on here when I started and set up a spreadsheet. To be honest it seems to be a mess now. I kept adding columns I thought would be helpful and now I'm finding it hard to make sense of it all.

Could anyone show an example of their spreadsheet and the things they think are important to record/how they record it.
I'm wondering what is really needed when it comes to tax return time.

I put this in the beginner forum as I thought this would be good for beginners. Perhaps a future blog post for John ;)

I don't have a spreadsheet. When I do my tax returns I use the companies payment lists for mystery shopping and work out expenses. With writing and surveys just put down what I earn and I do that through Paypal or my bank account - and include vouchers.

By the way the Google Sheets link version doesn't seem to work. I can't download it or make a copy it there is no option to do that all I can do is view the spreadsheet. Was going to use it if worked as prefer that to the Excel one as I can then look at it from my phone etc.
Maybe you could check it?
Let me have a look :)

Are you logged into google docs? I'm struggling to see why you can't make a copy.

Tried that but it just is not showing the menu bit where U can make a copy. Logged in and open it up and it shows the spreadsheet but no make a copy option can only view it.
Done it fine for other things.

I've kept mine very simple.

At the top I have targets to meet each month
To the side, the sites I use and how much is in each account / how much I've cashed out
Underneath what the target is for the month, how much I've actually made, how much I still have to go, how much I need to earn on average each day (just as a separate target)
The below that, the date, which sites I've earned from and how much. Each day has a total which is linked to how much I've earned in total.


I don't use this for the tax return though as the SA is based on a cash received basis.

There is an arguement to say its the day you invoiced for the payment. But I'm not sure the tax man will care too much.
Yeah tax man doesn’t care at all

He just cares about the big number at the end of the year!
