You leave section 10 blank as its additional income
In section 11, make sure you click on the annual tab and then type in your annual salaries into the box. (YOUR GROSS SALARIES)
The system will then automatically work out all your taxation contributions.
Click next and thats it.0 -
Sorry is gross what I what I get paid before or after tax. I have my p60 in front of me and it says pay total for this year and the nanother column that says tax deducted.0

Gross is your £24k and £12k figures.
When you input these into section 11, you will see the other boxes being filled in automatically for net earnings.0
