Paying tax question

Hi guys, since jan I've only been working Sundays (5 hrs a wk) should I notify the tax office as I don't think
I should pay tax (as only come away with 23 after tax a wk) and I've been told this is well below the threshold. Or do I wait till they sort it out automatically

thanks in advance x

    Do you have another job? If not and you filled in your P46 or gave them a P45 you wouldnt be getting taxed

    What tax code are you on, I'm guessing BR.

    If you didn't give your employer a P45 or complete a P46 when you started then get a P46 completed now

    Hi yeah it's br. What does that mean? I def gave my employer p45. Should I ring the tax office? I earnt well above threshold until the new tax yr so should I ring them and tell then what I expect to earn this yr?
    Thanks x
