How do I declare additional income for part-time consulting work?

  Written by Evan   Posted 3 July 2015

Hi TaxTim, in the 2014/2015 tax year, I did some part-time consulting work in my personal capacity over and above my normal work. It was only R3000 for the year. I'm including it under "Local Business/Trade/Professional Services". If this is the correct section, would I need to put the R3000 under "Other income" or where should I be declaring this amount? Thanks for your help!
