Hi h88, Any untaxed income you earn between 6th April 2024 and 5th of April 2025 would be declared in a 24/25 tax return, which you would file from 6th of April 2025 (the deadline for this return being received by us would be 31st of January 2026). When you file your return, the remainder of your basic rate will be applied against your untaxed income, after which the higher rate will be applied.
Thank you.

Hi, I started one job in August and another in September, both are three days a week with salaries 27k pro rata and 30k pro rata. I will earn above the tax threshold in total but below the higher tax threshold. My first job has the tax code 1257L M1 and my second has BR. This results in me earning less from my second job due to paying more tax. Should I take action to change these or is this standard? Thank you for your help.

Hello and thank you for this forum, it's very useful. I have a full-time job where I earn about £32000 a year. I'd like to do some language teaching, a couple of evenings a week, without reducing the hours of my full-time job. Tax for my current job is paid by the company (deducted from the money I take home every month), but how would I pay tax for the second job if I'm a private tutor (not working for a company)? And what percentage? Thank you.

Hi lennyfou,
The personal alllowance for the year is 12570(1257L) tax free, the next 1- 37700(does not included scotland) will be liable to tax at 20%(BR).
This would mean any income over 50270 would then be liable at 40%(does not included scotland), based on the figures you have advised your combined income at both sources will be 57000 so ths would mean 6730 would be liabe at 40% which currently is not being collected due to both sources indvdually not reaching this.
You have advised that these employments only started mid tax year, so you may not reach the 50270 level this tax year which will mean the current tax codes possibly will collect the correct tax, but from April 2025 onwards you may need an adjustment to your code to take account of your income at higher rate.
This can be done via your tax account to advise of your income figures or you can contact our helpline who will be able to assist

Hi Pepa,
The income you receive from private tutoring would be classed as self employment if PAYE tax is not deducted at source. You can earn up to £1000 per tax year tax free, so if your self employed income was below this amount you would not need to register for Self Assessment.
If your self employed income is above £1000 a year you would need to register for Self Assessment:
Check how to register for Self Assessment   
You would pay tax at 20% on annual income up to £50270, tax at 40% would be applicable on income £50271 or above. You can see guidance here:   
Income Tax rates and Personal Allowances   
Thank you.

Hi how do i start a new thread, as wanted to ask another question re a second job. If i have a main job that pays approx £47,000 per year and a second job that pays around £7350 and the allocated tax free amount is £12.750, would my combined earnings push me into the higher tax bracket of 40%?

Hi Samar Yousefpour,
The current tax free personal allowance for 24/25 is 12570, so if you have 1 employment that you earn 20000 at, then the first 12570 is not taxed, then the remaining 7430 will be taxed at 20% which is what we call basic rate(not including scotland), if you then take on a 2nd employment in which you earn 9000, then as you have used your personal allowance already at the first job, you would be due to pay tax on this all at 20% - Basic rate. -  please see  Income Tax rates and Personal Allowances for further information.
Thank you.

Hi, I have she started a new job currently working a 35hrs a week.. Currently Earning an annual salary of £18779.98 but am considering going back to my old job and working over Christmas for some extra money but not sure how this is going to affect me tax wise? I would only be working around 16/20 hours in total over Christmas if I did go back but not sure if it will be worth it tax wise.

Hi, I have done a locum job on top of my regular job. If my tax and NI are deducted at source in a regular job, but not the 2nd locum job. Whats the best way of telling HMRC is it registering for self assessment tax or use HMRC online account and report as missing income? Also what would be the deadline to report this years income (wait for all income to come in and then declare in April 25? ) Thanks

Hi K,
Yes, based on the current Income Tax rates, not including Scotland, and your total earnings being £54350, £3902 of your total income would be liable at the higher rate of 40%. You can see guidance here:

Thank you.

Hi Holly,
The personal alllowance for the year is 12570(1257L) tax free, you can earn in the next 1- 37700(not including scotland) that will be liable to tax at 20%(BR).
Based on what you have advised on your main income being £18779, this means you would be liable to tax at 20% (Basic Rate) on your temporary Christmas employment.
Make sure you sign a P46 with the new employer and tick Option C.
Thank you.
