Being taxed 31% on my £250 bonuses - is this correct?

in Cutting tax
Hi there, I need a bit of advice. I am 28, Uk citizen, 1 full time job. I earn £25,000 basic and occasionally earn a £250 bonus. I only receive £172 of the £250 after I have been taxed though - this is a 33% tax which seems a bit much baring in mind I only earn £25K.
Does anyone know if this is correct? I have asked accounts and I only get a shirty response from the girl there "it's what the machine says".
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Tax and NI seems about right.0

on your marginal earnings e.g your overtime you will be taxed at 20% and you pay NI at 11%0
