PAYE following a period of unemployment

Options
Hi,
Ive just started a new job after being out of work for 3 years (yeah!,me).

what % of my income would i expect to be deducted considering I have received no income this tax year and will only be working for 3.5 months of the tax year.

I was hoping that i would get the full tax allowance but im guess that its on a pro-rata basis. Is this right?

    You will get the full tax allowance so depending on how much you earn may not pay any tax.

    If your earnings come under your personal allowance you will pay no tax, anything over you will pay 20% (later if earnings are high they can be 40%).

    you can have an income (earning plus JSA ) of 8105 before paying tax

    you pay NI however at 12% on earnings over 632 per month
