    So they are taking you on as a freelance contractor? You'll need to declare that to revenue and yeah, tell social. If you dont declare the income you can very very easily get hit with a fine and still have to pay the tax.

    Please be mindful that you need a different type of car insurance to be a delivery driver. Your normal policy does not cover use of car for deliveries. You will need Occasional Business Use added to your policy to be adequately covered.

    Check the cost of increased insurance, additional petrol costs, and reduction/loss of Social, and see if it's worth your while, tbh.
