Irrespective of whether you're an employee or self-employed, HMRC will tax your earnings above �33,000 at 40%.

AAGH!!!

A thousand aplogies. I've just realised that the table in that link refers to 'taxable income' and not just 'income'. The first �5035 that you earn isn't taxed. (It's your 'personal allowance'). So, the 40% rate doesn't actually cut in until your total income exceeds �33,300 + �5,035 = �38,335.

Sorry!
