Fulltime job & secondary job

mynameisryan

Hi,

I'm currently employed and doing 45 hours a week, but have also recently started doing an extra 4 hours for 3 days a week for another company.

Presumably the gov wants me to pay tax on this, is there any clever way of getting around it or anything?

Surely we cant advise on tax evasion on here??? Nobody likes paying tax but unfortunately the majority of us have to.

No that would be stupid

No. This situation is no different to you doing the extra work with your current employer. Rather than having your pay and tax dealt with in one employer, it's spread across the two.

No way around avoiding the tax you are legitimately due to pay, I'm afraid.

You can't avoid the tax on your second income but there is a small difference between having a second job and doing extra work for your current employer. You only have one tax allowance no matter how many jobs you do, but you do get a full National Insurance Allowance for each job. So while you will have to pay tax on your earnings for your second job will most likely won't have to pay NI contributions, assuming your not getting paid twenty something quid an hour.
