MKT Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Just a quick question. My husband cleared my (frrench)neighbours father's garden for him - it was very overgrown and it started as a favour, then turned out to take alot longer than thought. At the end of it he gave him a cheque - its for a couple of hundred.Can I just pay the cheque in, declare it on my next declaration de revenues and pay whatever tax they say is due or am I breaking some law here ?appreciate any adviceMaria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, and its a very big if, the tax man queried it, you can say it was a christmas present from the neighbour who is a good friend. Such presents are tax free.
