Did she fill in a p46 when she started, if not she should do now.
It depends on how much she earns as to whether she pays tax or not but as she hasnt used her allowances up since April, she shouldnt be paying tax and it will be refunded through payroll once Next get her tax code from HMRC.
Working on a whole year, the way it works is
Allowance per year is £8105, divide that by 52. (weeks)
The product of that is what you can earn before paying tax.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
If she earns more than £146 (the primary threshold) in a week then she will pay 12% national insurance on the excess. She can't get that back.
If she earns more than £156 in a week then she will pay 20% income tax on the excess. She can get that back if in the year April 2011-April 2012 she earns less than £8,105.:footie:
Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. 0 -
The OPs daughter has just received her 1st payslip in this tax year so I presume she has done no work in the year 2011-2012, probably at school.
Will she still be working there when she goes to College.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

Seems like a BR code, seems payroll havent processed the P46 yet.0

She could also investigate whether a P38(S) is applicable, which would mean paying no tax at all.
