Tax on 2 jobs.

MrTomato

Hello.

So this is my possible situation. I have 2 interviews. One is working 16 hours starting early (7am ish) and the other is for 12 hours working late evenings twice a week.

If I was to get offered these jobs, and take both of them, what is the case with tax?

So far this tax year, I've only made something like £500, and these jobs I have interviews for are only temporary until September, so I'm not going to go over the allowance for the year.

However, on the 2nd job, do I pay tax at the base rate (20% or whatever it is) just because it is a 2nd job, or do I need to be over my total allowance first?

Thanks.

You can have your tax free allowance allocated in any way you want. You just need to ring your tax office, explain the situation, ytell them your wages at each job and ask them to alocate your allowances in the best way.
