Paying tax and NI on a second jon

MrsR2b

Hi all, completely new to this so bear with me!
I know this question seems to have been asked many times, but i'm still confused.

I work FT earning £20k a year. I've just started a PT Casual job at a leisure centre. I anticipate this to earn me about £35 (before tax) a week, however, it is on a casual basis so there are no set or guaranteed hours.

My understanding is that all of my allowance will be on my FT job, and then whatever i earn on the second job will be taxed at 22% and NI'd at 11%.
Is this right?

Basically, i do not want to be paying more tax and insurance on my main job, i don't want it to be affected.
Thanks

You will pay basic rate tax on the second income which is currently 20%. If the second job is completely unrelated to the first job then it will be treated seperately for national insurance and you will be allowed to earn £105 a week without paying any NI. If the new job is related to the old one eg same employer then the two jobs may be added together to work out your NI due.
When you start you should be asked to fill in a P46 on which you should choose option C

C – I have another job or receive a state or

occupational pension.
