Tax Help!!

Hey, i want to know if i should be paying tax or not?
Currently im paying £13 tax a week but i get my wages every 2 weeks so it takes off 26 - 30 depending if i do overtime.
I work 16 hours;
I earn on the 1st job - £62 a week
I work with for my dad on self employed an hour a day getting £25 a week

I get working tax credits(£66) and child tax credits(£59) and also child benifit (£20)
My daughter is 7 months (if that helps at all??)

thanks

£62 / 16 = £3.87 Is that all you get paid?

You need to earn approximately £125 per week to pay tax so you should not be paying tax.

Should i ring up tax people and ask them?

What is your tax code?

Have a look at the tax code on your pay slip - it should be 65 or 650. Ask your work's payroll or similar first and then ring your local tax office if they don't know.

So you work 16 hours for £62 a week? That's well below the minimum wage unless you are under 18? What is your tax code on your pay slip? It sounds like it is BR because it is a second job, while you are on an L code with your dad.

Is this a fair summary of your income for the year?

3224 - 1st job.
1300 - the job with your dad.
7540 - benefits

Total = £12064 (Don't think these benefits are taxable)

If that's the case, then I calculate tax to be around £0 per week on because you come in under the personal allowance. Hence you'll be looking at a refund.

It's more than likely to be BR and 647L for the jobs respectively.

EDIT: Amended. Sorry don't know why I put 5 instead of 7!

There's no such code as 645BR - it would simply be BR. The normal code would be 647L.

As to the work for dad - it says self employed so there would be no tax code applied here.

OP - did you complete a P46 when you started work?

Amended post! My mistake. As for the self-employed work - I assumed that it was their dad who was self employed, so it would still be possible for them to have a tax code?
