Second Job & Tax

The_One_Who

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I'll explain my situation and hope someone can advise.

I have started a new (salaried) job, which is full-time. However, I am still wanting to keep on my other (paid hourly, casual) job. Before now, the casual job was my main income, but after I fill in the paperwork for my new job that will change.

What do I need to do about tax? I'm aware that I will be taxed on my casual job at the basic rate, but do I need to inform my employers that I have started this other job and then get them to change my tax code?

Are you referring to a P46?

How casual is the casual job? Do you get a P60 after the end of the tax year (ie by mid-May)?

My daughter has 3 jobs, one is 6.25hrs/week (job 2), one roughly 24 hrs/week (job 1) and the 3rd she calls her casual job (job3 which was her main job before she got the other 2 jobs - does hours when her employer needs her. As far as I am aware each of the 2nd and 1st jobs filled in a P46 and sent them off to the tax man, then she rang the tax office and split her annual tax allowance between job 2 and job 1, and left the 3rd without an allowance so she will pay tax at the basic rate if she works for them.
