Im thinking of getting a 2nd job, a couple of evenings and sunday somewhere.
Am i right in thinking I will be taxed at the normal rate on this and my current job? So 20% plus national insurance on each?

I dont think its a higher rate, but you dont get the £4k allowance like you do with one job.

Thats what I thought. Id still get the free allowance in my main and current job and the second job is fully taxable.

Unless its cash under the table I wouldnt bother as you probably wont make much!!
I thought about getting a part time job to make some pocket money while going to college but im due a couple grand back in tax from April - Sept earnings & any money I make will be consumed by tax so not worth giving up my weekend!!
If I can find a wee cash in hand number i'll be there but not many of them these days!

you can claim exemption from NI for your second job if your earnings for the tax year will be under £4300 or thereabouts, this is because you only need to pay it once through your main job.

I think you get taxed on emergency tax rate on the second income once your total earnings go over 33K
thats what i've been told anyway

Your tax code becomes *BR* which is basic rate and you'll get taxed 22% on your second job

people who say its not worth getting a second job because of the tax baffle me, getting a second job which pays 5k a year will see no less in your pocket than if you had a 5k a year pay rise in your main job.

Like J-Me said (unless your a higher rate tax payer where you'll pay at the flat rate of 40%)
(I'm an accountant)
Also you'll pay NI @ 1% of all earnings

I think i've been screwed by this...
I was working at legoland windsor as a summer job, then started my placement year - so never left my summer job officially until after I had started my placement job.
Placement job is proper full time work.
But I'm getting tax'd to fuck, like a 1/3 rd of my wages disapears in tax / N.I.
What's more, I should've still been having my 'allowance of money I can earn etc'
Spoke to my mate who's also on his placement and he said he only gets N.I and for the last 3 months he's not been taxed at all and won't be till he hits his 'allowance' of money, and then will get taxed at a low rate. He also said as our jobs fall over 2 tax years our allowance should be like 4 - 5 k each year, meaning should only get taxed on the remainder.
I'm getting taxed hard on everything I earn
If I sit back and take it as it is, will I automatically get a rebate, or do I have to make a fuss to get it known?
