Two PAYE jobs and self employed

Options
I am currently in full-time employment and pay tax through PAYE. I also have self-employed earnings for which I complete an end of year self assessment. I am thinking of splitting my full time employment into two part time jobs which will both be PAYE - will I be taxed at a higher rate on one of these? does it count as a second job?

Also as well as these two jobs I may still continue with self employed earnings - what implications will this have on paying tax?

    It is your total income which determines the amount of tax you pay. A second PAYE job does not affect this fact.

    Will the two part-time jobs be with the same employer or with separate employers. If separate, how are they one at the moment? If with the same employer, then the employer should be dealing with your tax in the same way as now.

    my two part-time jobs will be with two different employers, one will be my main job and the other 2nd smaller job for which I will earn less. I've been reading on here about BR code for your 2nd job -is that correct? and therefore will my 2nd job be taxed at 22%?

    Your 2nd job will be BR unless you are already a higher rate taxpayer with your first job in which case it will DO ( taxed at 40%).
