Yes contact the tax asap as failing to declare your earnings and making a Self Assessment could result in a fine of £100 + from our lovely tax office.

Your earning are classed as self-employment and you will be taxed on them plus you will have to pay NI contributions as a self employed person, even if you have a full time job and pay tax + Ni under the PAYE.

HM Revenue & Customs: Home Page tax office online has more help... but contact your local office asap to aviod the fines.
