PAYE Employment + Contracting
Stoke
Posts: 3,182 Forumite
Hello,
I've recently started doing contracting alongside my PAYE full-time employment. Obviously my tax is deducted automatically on PAYE at the 20% rate. However, the Contracting work has actually taken me up into either the 40% or maybe 50% bracket. I would need to check this to be sure though, it's one or the other.
How do I adjust it so my PAYE is automatically deducting the correct amount from my pay? Do I need to speak to the finance team at work?

If you think you are in 50% bracket, I!!!8217;d speak to an accountant.Originally Posted by shortcrust

You're going to need to complete a tax return annually where you will consolidate all your earnings. There is no mechanism whereby your self employment tax is collected through your paye earnings. There is no 50% tax rate - the highest rate is 45% for earnings over £150,000.0

Already on it. Phoning them today.
So, I will need to basically put aside a bit more than half so I can accommodate my PAYE Job as well.You're going to need to complete a tax return annually where you will consolidate all your earnings.
