I am a photographer and since people are always looking for free shoots I assume that they must also do their job, or provide their services, for free.

I am looking to hire all types of people to do all sorts of jobs for me, as long as I do not have to pay anything. Just think, you will gain more experience, and I will put the word out for you and let everyone know what wonderful work you do. This opportunity will bring you a ton of unpaid work, but everyone will love you. So if you have a job or service you provide, and will do it for free, please let me know, because I am sure I have work for you and will hire you in a second.

Feel free to email me with the service you can provide, when you can start, and please include references.

I look forward to your free service.

Thanks,

PCPhoto

he/she is obviously extracting the urine taking the pi$$.

Every now and then on the creativeireland.com job listings there's some gems in the photography section looking for unpaid photography interns to "help out in busy studios".

I did do unpaid photography in the past. Always for services in kind, though - massage, personal training, etc. Both parties save on taxes, so it's beneficial for both of them.

Better off taking the cash IMO.

Bartering is not tax free though. Subject to tax as in any other service, at market rates. Non declaration is an offence.

By my calculations, I never went over the limit at which it had to be declared. But then, people say that I tend to undervalue myself

I may be wrong but ALL income is to be declared (there is no limit) - I think you are maybe mixed up with registration for VAT where once you exceed a certain amount you must register for VAT.

For PAYE Workers who earn other income
As a PAYE employee in Ireland, your employer will deduct 20% tax from your earnings up to €35,400 and 41% on any earnings over that. PRSI contributions will also be deducted each time you get paid.

If you earn any extra income outside of your PAYE earnings such as rental income or dividends, you will need to declare this additional income and file a self-assessment tax return at the end of each tax year.

Taxback.com can organise your self-assessment tax return and get your Irish tax refund. Our customers get an average tax refund of €840.

If you're self employed you can earn up to around €17,000 tax free. I think 17k is the cut off, or at least it used to be.

Sorry; should have stated that I just recently moved to Ireland from the US, where the tax code was a little more loophole-ish in this regard. But thanks for the heard-up; I'll be more careful here

Yes, all income should be declared, but all income isn't neccessarily taxeable.
