Unemployment benefits: Earn extra money without any problems?

Questioner

I have an unemployment benefit, in addition to a part-time job as a mail carrier. My benefit amounts to €900.00 per month. The part-time job averages €300.00 per month. Can I earn this extra without losing my unemployment benefits? And from a tax perspective, how much can I earn (per year) without having to pay tax? Please respond.

You have a number of obligations if you receive a benefit, including reporting that you have work (whether paid or unpaid, it does not matter), but also that you have income from the day you do this work and receive income. If you do not do this, you can get into big trouble and be labelled as a fraudster and a report will also be filed plus you will also receive fines that are not to be sneezed at.
