In BrE, "doing a moonlight flit" means leaving your house/flat
surreptitiously without paying the rent.
"Moonlighting" means "lavorare in nero".
to moon: chinarsi e far vedere il sedere nudo, tipo Jim Carrey; gli
altri significati nel dizionario sono insoliti oggigiorno
mooner: uno che fa cosě, presumo, ma non l'ho mai sentito
moonface: faccia di luna piena (esiste, ma non č comune)
moonish: mai sentito
moonstruck: stravagante, lunatico (insolito).

Over here in the USA, "moonlighting" merely means taking a second job
in addition to your regular job. We say "He's working 'under the
table'"  to refer to a 'lavoro nero'. I had an English friend who had
an "under-the-table" job as a tour guide in Venice.

Che cosa significa "lavorare in nero"?  Non ho mai sentito quell'espressione in
italiano.  
Moonlight significa "avere un secondo lavoro",  di sera o di notte per esempio.
 Is that the same as "lavorare in nero"?

No. Vedi la spiegazione di Joe. In UK "to moonlight" significa "lavorare in
nero". Negli USA significa "avere un secondo lavoro".

 moonstruck: stravagante, lunatico (insolito).

Here in England we use the expression "cash in hand job" to describe a
job that is not declared to the taxman and that is against the law.
In italian the expression is "lavoro in nero" loosely translatedtd as
"job in the dark". Another expression that you MUST know if you are
self employed is "pagare in nero" or "soldi in nero" (cash in hand)
meaning payments without any form of receipt to cheat the taxman. It
is not uncommon.

 Really?  We never do that over here.  That's why I had never heard it.
What, nobody??

In the USA, besides "under the table", we also sometimes say "off the
books" for illlegal payments which are intended to confound the tax
man.

Mary, I was being sarcastic.  However, when you rent, you are required to pay
first  month and LAST month rent plus a deposit at the time you move in, so it
would be very difficult to leave without paying you last month rent unless you
were really behind with the payments.

Mai sentito "lavoro nero" e "lavorare in nero"?
Mah...se ho appena finito di dirti che non l'ho mai sentito.....
Mi pare di sentire quei due cha andavano a pescare.
- Vai a pescare?
-No, vado a pescare.
-Ah...credevo che andavi a pescare!

Esprimevo, un po' retoricamente, se vuoi, il mio stupore. Non credo che
siano espressioni particolarmente recenti, e sono estremamente diffuse.

In Italy "a libri" means that you are regularly registrated. I never heard 
it used in the negative version. 

 yes for the others, but I have never heard this one.
Dal vocabolario:
