    Hi

    I have 2 jobs and a tax code that is not split correctly. Before I get my P60's to send could a clever money saver tell me what tax I should have paid for 07/08

    2 jobs added together £11541.48 for the year.

    I get the wash own uniform allowance of £45 working from home allowance of £96 added to my tax code.

    No other deductions or credits.

    Many thanks

    2007-08 you get the first £5225+£96 free (£5321)

    So, that leaves £6220.48 taxable.

    You pay 10% on the first £2230 (£223)
    And then 22% on the remaining £3990.48 (£877.91)

    So tax = £1100.91

    Any advice that you receive from me is worth exactly what you paid for it. Not a penny more or a penny less.

    The basic personal allowance is £5225

    So for Bootman he would have £5225 + £45 + £96 = £5366 tax free

    and so

    £11541.48 - £5366 = £6175.48 taxable income

    the first £2230 is taxable at 10% = £223

    and the rest £3945.48 is taxable at 22% = £868


    Total tax due on £11541.48 is therefore £223 + £868 = £1091
