Part time second job tax

Hi I currently work full-time 37.5 hrs earning over the threshold for paying tax, I am about to start a part time job working 15hrs, how will my tax work for my part time job, do I get taxed separately on my 2nd wage or will I be taxed more on my main job to include my second job. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi

If you're taxed over the allowances threshold at your main employment, you'll pay a flat rate of 20% tax at your new, secondary employment (or 40%, if your combined income takes you into the higher rate of tax).
This will be paid directly to us by your secondary employer, as they should operate a tax code of BR.

Thank you

Hi thank you is there a way I can find out how much tax I'll pay on my 2nd job getting paid £625 pm before tax

Hi John Foster,
This would normally be a tax rate of 20% for basic rate
Please guidance here:
Income Tax rates and Personal Allowances
Thank you. 

Hi there, I have a main job paying me £86k and am due to start a second part time job paying me another £10k. Will the tax code on my first job change?(it’s currently 1257l) Or will I have a different tax code on my second? Many thanks in advance.

Hi mejla hoxha,
No, the tax code will remain the same at your main job as your overall income will still be below £100K.
For your second job as you have already used your personal allowance and 20% tax band it will be taxed at the higher rate 40% with the code D0.
Please see this guidance: 
What your tax code means
Thank you 

Hello, this is my first post and I can’t see where one starts a new question, so apologies if I am gate crashing this one!!! I work in the NHS part time at 18.75 hours a week, after retiring two years ago. I have a pension of about £32,000 and a part time wage of about £29,000. This obviously puts me in a higher tax threshold. I also rent out a property bringing in £6,000.00 before expenses. What I don’t understand is, how my tax is worked out. I did briefly talk with HMRC, who tried to explain that there was not a tax code that covered both my pension and my part time wage, so they tax one or the other at a high rate and not the other. To be honest I had no idea what they were on about??? What I do know is, when I log on to my online HMRC account, it says I start paying tax after earning £1,375.00. I thought we all had earnings free of tax until we earned £12,570.00. I really don’t understand why I am paying tax at such a low level of earnings. I hope this makes sense, because it makes little sense to me, even when I read it back!!!

Hi chris F,
Everyone is entitled to a tax-free allowance of £12,570.00.
This allowance may be reduced, though, if you receive State Pension, or pay the tax due on your property income through your code.
To allow us to review your code and explain this reduction in your tax-free allowances, contact us by webchat or phone here:

Thank you

 

Hi! (like ChrisF, I also can't see where to start my own post or question so I also apologise if this isn't the appropriate place to put forward my own query!) I currently work full time with an annual salary of £25,752, I am considering / wanting to get a second part time job, temporarily, just to help with some extra finances over the next few months. However I only want to do this if it’s financially beneficial, if the tax ends up swallowing most of the earnings then I won’t bother. Could someone please let me know how it all works and how much I would potentially have to pay in tax and national insurance etc? I am happy to work it out myself if it’s explained in percentages. But I’d be grateful for any help/advice as I have absolutely no clue on this! For context, I’d be looking for a minimum wage job, only a few hours each weekend. Worst case scenario, the most I would be looking to earn would be maybe an extra £60-70 a week, so definitely no more than £3-3500 a year total. But again, because this is such a small amount, if it gets swallowed up by tax and national insurance then I won’t bother as it wouldn’t be worth it for me. Please dumb it down and explain it to me like I’m a child if possible lol. I just want to make sure I won’t be leaving myself short or working extra hours for next to no extra money! Thank you very much in advance.

Hi AdeleW398,
As your main job will use all your tax free personal allowances (£12,570) 
The 2nd part time job will be taxed on the full amount at basic rate tax (BR)
If you live outside of Scotland the tax band will be 20%.
If you live in Scotlance the tax band will be 21%.
You can find out more here:
Tax codes
The National Insurance rates can be found here:

Thank you. 

Hi, I'm about to start a new job and work 21 hours a week there. I believe this means I will earn about £12,000 a year from this job. I am also currently working another part time, about 7-10 hours a week, as well and earning about £12.67 an hour there. How does this impact me when getting taxed? Will I be taxed on both? If so, how much? For my second job, my tax code is 1257L, so I'm not sure if this means anything? Thanks,

Hello, Hello, could someone please tell me how I contact by “web chat or phone here” as it states? Many thanks, Chris F.

Hi Sam,
In the current tax year the parsonal allowance is £12570.
As you have 2 jobs, but are not using all your personal allowance at that job the remaining balance can be allocated to the 2nd job.
This should be updated when details of your new job are received.
If your tax code is not amended then you can contact HMRC to review here:
Income Tax: general enquiries
Thank you. 

Hi chris F,
Contact HMRC
This will give the different contact phone numbers.

Thank you. 

Hi, I am a student right now, and i work at two different places, i work approximately, 3 hours a week in my first job and 17 hours in my second job. i am going to get my pay tomorrow and i just saw that i am taxed flat 20% on my second jobs salary. so is there any way to change this, like me getting taxed on my first job rather than second job. and i think in this year i will earn less than 12570 pounds. So is there any way to change it. Since my shifts in each of the work is changing, i cant say any how much i will earn, but if i am taxed in my first job it would be less and appropriate as i do maximum number of shifts in my second job and taxing that means i get paid less for a month. Is there any way to clear this out. Regards, Surya

Hi, I am currently having 2 part-time jobs (Job A and Job B) since 6 April, and their current tax codes are 615L (for Job A - earning £13 hourly) and 641TX (for Job B - earning £11.44 hourly). I am going to terminate Job B in July, and start working a full-time Job C (earning around £28000 annually) in September, which will be my primary income, while keeping Job A for my extra income. In this scenario, I have got a few questions: 1. Which statement (B or C) should I apply when I complete the HMRC Starter Checklist for Job C? 2. As Job C will be my primary income, which earns much higher than Job A, do I need to inform HMRC proactively about this, or will HMRC automatically calculate the amount that I will earn and change the tax code for me to avoid being over-taxed? 3. What will the tax code be for Job A and Job C? Any appropriate person I should reach to change my tax code? Thank you!

Hi, Sorry if it’s not ok to add another question to this thread. I have a full time job that will pay £48500 from August. I also have a second job that is a zero hours contract but I usually make £4500 per year, tax code is BR. The weekly pay in my second job never takes me over the NI threshold. Should I split my tax free allowance between the two jobs or defer NI for the first job?

Hi
Please look here How to update your tax code

Hi,
Statement C would be the correct option.
If you wish to amend the split of allowances, you can do so by following contacting HMRC:
Income Tax: general enquiries
Thankyou.

Hi Bmstrt,
You would normally expect that If you will use all your your personal allowances at your full time job then it would be best to retain and use all your allowances against that job.  
The Personal Allowance and how that is split does not have an effect on national insurance.  
If you have any concerns about national insurance I would suggest you speak to the national insurance helpline. 
Thankyou.
