If you do and you get another job you would probably asked to complete a form P46 and your second employer would be instructed which code to use for you. Unless you earn a lot in your first job I doubt that you would pay 45% though
It depends on how much of your allowance you will be using up on your first job, if you only work part-time and don't earn enough to use your full allowance then you can ask your local tax office to split your code between two jobs so that you don;t pay tax on the friday job, but it depends on what they will add up to over your year
It's far simpler than that. HMRC instructs employers that employees who can't provide a P45 / have a second job to use a tax code of 'BR'. This means basic rate - 20% currently. That is what will be deducted.
Unless your taxable income across both jobs rises above the threshold for higher rate tax of about �40k p.a., nothing else will happen.
No-one pays income tax at 45% - the higher rate is 40% and has been for about 20 years.
