Have had a look at the website for jksmysteryshopping. The first thing I noticed was that all their mystery shoppers are classed as self employed and responsible for their own tax and National Insurance. Do you really want all that hassle?

There are plenty of Mystery shopping companies that treat you as employees try googling them.

All mystery shopping companies say that you have to pay your own tax. I do it myself but I sure don't pay tax because you don't earn enough and the money is crap anyway!

I have done mystery shopping for the last six years working for numerous companies, each one has treated me as an employee and stopped tax.

The money is rubbish but if you're drawing a pension like me, you will have tax stopped as all your tax allowances go against the pension.

I know this is selfish but if I recommend the companies I work for you could end up taking work I could have done. The money is so poor I just couldn't afford to do so.

To make the job pay you would have to get regular work from at least three companies, all of them will want you to work during shop opening hours so if you have a full time job during those hours you just couldn't do it. You may get the odd one or two that offer "out of hours work" but if they do that you will probably have to make do with a free meal or a visit to a cinema etc - no pay.

Anyway if you want to continue with the job just try googling you should get quite a few shown.
