  I suppose you need to tell your employer about your other employment. Maybe they scare got conflict of interest.

  there is always a probability of your daytime job being affected.
  that probability alone is enough for your company.

  Tax... it's the taxes dude... if you earn above a certain amount of money and never declare, prepare to have free lodging, food and drinks or an emptying of your bank account(s).

  Because calculating income tax for your case would be very taxing, no pun intended.
