Stat MAT pay with 2 jobs and repaying tax owed

I currently work two jobs and have realised in my main job my tax has increased quite alot and i have been put on emergency tax. I earned too much in my second job and have now been put into higher tax bracket. I owe them money so will pay back through my tax in my main job until April next year.

My query is i am pregnant and will be going on to maternity likely January 2026. What will happen with what i owe on tax, will they take it out of my statutory pay? or will it be held until i am back in full time work?

    You'll continue to be taxed through your SMP, but your liability will reduce (assuming you're not continuing to receive full pay).
