Hi Keman,
Hi, the standard personal allowance this tax year is 12570, this is shown on your payslip under the tax code 1257L, what this means is that every tax month from April 2024 to March 2025 you can earn up to £1047.50 before any tax will be deducted. And any unused amount is carried forward to the follwing month, so if you earned say 547.50 in April 2024 then you will have 500 spare tax free earning that will be rolled over to May 2024 pay, so that month you will then be able to earn £1547.50 before any tax will be deducted. This  carries on like this for the full tax year.
If you have 2 employments, usually the main employer has the tax code 1257L and your second operates a BR code,  20% tax, on all earnings there. You can, if you know what you income will be at both sources, ask HMRC to split your allowances between both sources ,or after the tax year has ended we will auto review your record and if you have any unused personal allowance we will review if any tax repayment is due.
Thank you.

Hi, I understand that I will be taxed 20% for working a second job, but if I am working 2 part time jobs and even when the salaries are combined still don’t go above £12,570, then will I receive all of the money I am taxed on the second job back in a tax rebate? Thanks in advance.

Hi binczekoladen,
To review your tax codes for both jobs please contact HMRC here:
Income Tax: general enquiries
You can then request your tax code be split between your two jobs/employer. 
Thank you.

Dear HMRC, I have a full time job where I paid IHS fee for 3 years. Now I am intending to take another full time second job with a new CoS but do I have to pay IHS again for 3 years? And if so will I get refund for the 3 years that i paid for my first job? Thank you for your help.

Hi,

The Personal allowance for 24/25 is 12570 before tax is deducted ,after this is used is the next £1-£37700 of your earnings  are liable at basic rate tax (20%) , so in theory you can earn upto £50270 before you would be liable at Higher rate (40%) .

Is you earn 43900 at your main employment this would mean you can then earn £6370 elsewhere that would only be liable to tax at 20% and anything over that would then be liable at 40%  .

Thank you .

Hi annamakri,
The standard tax code for 24/25 is 1257L for the year, which allows you to earn £1047.50 / month before tax will be deducted, after that the next tax band will be 20%,
The code 688L you have quoted sounds like your tax code has been split between 2 sources of employment.
You will need to contact HMRC to find out the reason for this tax code-  HMRC's digital assistant should be able to assist in tax code questions
Income Tax: general enquiries
Thank you.

Hi Saulmcg,
The standard Personal Allowance is £12,570, which is the amount of income you do not have to pay tax on. If you have not earned over this amount within the current financial year, across all of your employments, any tax paid will be refunded to you. 
It is most likely that your first job has all of these tax-free allowances allocated to it, if you would like us to spread your allowances across both of your employments, or would like additional advice, contact us by webchat or phone via https://Income Tax: general enquiries
Thank you.
