It's a (very) bad thing. As that is the Code more normally reserved for 2nd jobs. And charges 20% on everything - no personal allowance giving you a tax free portion of income. Does that (2nd job) fit? And is this for 2011-12?If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0
