Help! Short term work and tax

    I'm currently a stay at home parent, my husband has whatever relevant tax credits I could give him. I've been offered a few weeks to a months work for a company that I used to work for, they said they'll just pay me for the hours I do (no tax) I'm not too sure about this, I mean it's not big bucks, will only be about 20 hrs per week so no more than 1500. Is there any way to do this correctly that doesn't involve me setting up as a sole trader etc? The company seem reluctant to set me up on their system and I suppose for such a short term I can understand. How do temps sort their tax? Sorry I'm just clueless and have only ever been an employee before! Also the could need me again in a few months so if it becomes an on/off again thing I'd like to know what my options are.
    Thanks

    You wouldn't have to set up as a sole trader.

    Next year you file a Form 12 via MyAccount to declare the extra income. You may be entitled to claim the Earned Income credit and so it is unlikely you will be charged tax on €1500, in the end. You may be liable to USC though.
