HELP me please regarding tax

I currently have two jobs now the first job that i have is a part time saturday job for which i work 7.5 hours per week. This was my first job and i get my tax allowance. My second job is a monday to friday job for 37 hours a weeks on which i get charged basic rate tax.

My question is how do i go about changing so that i get my tax allowance on my monday to friday job?

Have i been paying to much tax and if so will i get any back?

Many thanks for any advice you can give me

    Simply ring your tax office for your main job and request that they make it your main employer. If you get your PAYE ref from your main job before you ring that will help.

    Depending on how long you've had your 2 jobs you may be entitled to a refund, the tax office will be able to advise you on that.

    I think you've almost definitely paid too much tax in the circumstances you describe; kelly is right about the way to sort it out. :)
