    When did you first start the part-time job?
    The only thing that is constant is change.
  • Started the part-time job about 5 years ago. Tax code is BR.

    The tax code on the new full-time job is 747L.

    Thanks for your advice guys, still a little confusing (as I mentioned, I'm daft when it comes to stuff like this) but we'll get there :)

    a BR taxcode is used where some-one has two jobs; one job has the tax allowance i.e 747L and the second has BR (which means you are taxed at 20% on all the income for that job)

    your tax will work out correctly if your (new) main job will pay more than 7475 this tax year

    Will I get taxed on the new full time job from now or will I start getting taxed after I get to the threshold?

    You get 1/12th of your tax free allowance each month. As you've not used any of your allowance this tax year you are due £5,606 of your tax free allowance. This will increase by £623 each month. So until your cumulative pay in your ful-time job goes above the pro-rata amount of tax free allowance due you will not pay any tax in your main employment.
    Did you really mean to put loose?
    Lose: no longer possess, not to retain, unable to find
    Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place
