Just technically : Payments for presentations happen. For interviews, I am more surprised. But was it really a "payment" (a salary) or was it a reimbursement (to cover your travel costs for example) ? (This is just a disinterested note.)
I didn't submit an invoice ... they just said they'd pay me. I still have no idea how much.
Now, as a board member, I am more curious of the second part of your comment. If I understand you well, you mean that apparently, the BBC gave some money to the Foundation for the interview you gave them, and that the Foundation paid you ?
No, no. This will be coming directly from the BBC to me.
? This is not what you wrote before. You probably slipped ?
You wrote "heh. FWIW, this did not come via WMUK - it came via the Foundation to me personally. I didn't expect reimbursement either and certainly didn't ask for it ..."
What did you mean then ?
But if I start making money *because* I am a director of a charity, I don't know what happens next. I've been meaning to get a real accountant for a while ...
Probably nothing I expect... You can not be paid by the UK association, but I see no reason why it would be illegal you receive money from other organisations.
What I do not really know is how one *declare* that money for income taxes. I suppose nothing would happen for small amounts. But once amounts are bigger, they should be declared. At least when the money is collected in your country or perhaps for me in Europe.
Dunno...
