Tax rates

2 Posts

I am working in a hospital and have a regular contract that I get my pay through and is taxed 'normally' I'm under any higher rate threshold. Over Christmas I did some additional work that got paid on a bank contract, that although it appears to on the same tax code appears to have been taxed much more heavily about 200 on 500 odd earnings.
Is this normal to be taxed so differently on a bank contract? Will it 'sort' itself out at the end of the financial year when it is known exactly how much has been earned?
Any advice/info appreciated

Yes it is extra work on top of normal income. It's not a second job, but it is paid on a separate contract.
Previously have done extra work through normal contract but was offered a better rate for doing through bank contract.
Is there anyway of working out roughly what tax I would get in advance to work out whether I would better off on taking the better rate or getting the lower rate paid on my normal contract?
Thanks again
