  Technically you don't buy car, buy house, flaunt in the newspapers that you got 4000 students and plan to open branch in China...should be ok.

  Technically you are required to declare.
  Most likely you can get away with it, if you do not.
  Provided you do not become an opposition upstart.
  It can, and will be used against you in future.

  if u leave any record.. like setting branch in china... then it is suspectible to be found out in the future..
  
  i guess the only place which is hardest to be find out is if you keep your money in the tin boxes.. but your relatives, students , friends may know abt your work and thus info still may be leak out...

  Exactly, freelancing at home providing tuition services won't make you rich.

  Whatever you do for a living, CAN make you substantially rich, IF, you know how to manage your funds, possess reasonable control on how your spend your money, cashflow supervision, & WHERE you keep your money and or revenues....
  
  You are not evading Tax if you don't appear to have a lot of income...
  
  simple..

  ..oh one more thing;
  
  ..notice how the government doesn't NOTICE you when you are jobless, but can suddenly be so in touch with you when you start making money - whatever the amount/s??

  What has CSI got to do with giving tuition? are you committing a crime?
  
  You asked stupid question and make stupid remarks, and yet call people naive. I pity your students.

  unless is ur main source of income.
  
  if u're just teaching a few to supplement ur main income, u can get the Best Citizen award for declaring that.
