Part time second job tax

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.

Hi , I got my main job and am earning £25.600 per year,now I got another job freelance and am getting about £12000 per year,how much tax I will pay for my second job (freelance) please,also how and when I need to report it to HMRC about my freelance job ??? thank you.

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
