Using your Credit Card as an "income"



Hi Tim

I was retrenched a while back, well actually left due to the fact I was not paid for 6 months none the less, I had no other choice but to use my credit card to pay my bills for a while. So I would draw money and do a cash deposit in my account for my debit orders to go off. Would this be seen as a income? and would this money be taxed? Further to that, failing to find a full time job I worked casual labour to get by, but I had help from family and friends depositing monies in ...

Up until about a year ago, I would receive the full amount claimed from the company. Now I don't. When I queried this I was told that I am paying tax on the amount that I claim to the tune of 40% or something. I was also told that if I had allowed the company to register for me etc then obviously I wouldn't pay anything unless I fail a module.
