saturday job

[StylinSami]

im thinking of getting a saturday job to earn a bit of extra cash. i already work mon-fri but as i say need a bit extra cash. what would happen in relation to tax if i had two jobs ?????

thanks in advance!

You would pay tax on every penny you earn at 20%, assuming you are a basic rate tax payer and are already paying tax.

You will pay NI too.

you can ask the tax office to split your code and say allocate �500 to the part time saturday job, or work out how much based on the actuall hours, then u pay no tax on the second job but maybe slightly more on the lower rate in your first job, but this is probably giving you a bit more. Ask the tax helpline to give u an idea. Also, if you are over a certain age u can get single person's tax credit, ask the WTC office about that. if u are living alone u should qualify for that and not have to pay tax and insurance on a second job.

I work full time and have a second job every other saturday. I am taxed on both jobs but because I earn under a certain amount, the amount I am taxed does not change.

Hi Sam,

I have two jobs, i work 9-5 mon-fri in an office & have a part time bar job (which i get paid cash in hand for so luckily i don't pay tax). Have you thought about doing some bar work? I really enjoy it, it stops me from going out & spending my money but i also have a laugh & get to meet people while being paid for it!
