p46 what should i tick

Options
I am currently working and have started a second job thats temporary for a month. My combined income will be below my personal allowance.

Therefore on my p46 for my second job what should i tick? I don't want to be taxed on my second job, and i will if i tick that i have another job.

If i do tick the i have another job box and i do get taxed, how can i reclaim the tax?

    You don't have any option - you must tick that box if you have another job.

    If it was longer than a month I would advise phoning HMRC and getting your tax code split between the two jobs. However with only a month it's probably not going to be worthwhile.

    You should be given a BR code and taxed at 20%. If you don't go over the personal allowance you can claim it back at the end of the tax year.
