If I had two part time jobs, what percentage of tax would I pay on my 2nd Job? in the uk?

Question

I would work a total 34 hours per week

Answer 1

If you earn above £5435 in your first job, then your second job your tax code will be BR(Basic Rate)

i.e 20% PAYE Tax of your Gross Pay

You will also have to pay in addition,

National insurance at 11% of your Gross Pay

Equating to 31%

Answer 2

if you have 2 part time jobs you can get in touch with the tax office and explain and they will split your tax code, if you don`t you will have to pay 20% on all your 2nd job wage, on 34 hours in total that is more like 1 full time job

Answer 3

I would depend on how much you earn.  Basically, your income will be added together.  If your earning are between the basic tax allowance (your personal allowance) and the higher rate tax bracket you will pay basic rate tax.  If your earnings fall below the individual basic rate tax allowance (£5435) then your earnings will not be taxed.  I am assuming that you are a employed in both jobs rather than self employed.

Answer 4

The number of hours you work doesn't affect it. To be able to answer you in detail, I would need to know how much your earnings would be at each job. You can currently earn £5435 per annum before you have to pay tax, although this will increase to £6035 in September, and that will be retrospective back to 6th April last.

The tax allowance is yours to do as you like with. You can either have it at one job, or split it between both. Tax office staff are always happy to give advice if you feel you need it. You will need to contact tax office if you want any variation on  tax allowance at main job, and code BR (20%) at other.

Answer 5

If the total is above your PA, then 20%.

Answer 6

I have more than one job in care homes but I have to say which one is my main employer, so that I can claim all my tax allowances from that employer.  For anywhere else I have to fill in a P46(?) and then pay 20% tax on my extra earnings.  It's a pain when I see my payslip, considering how hard I work (and how many hours) but that's what this shite government does.  I work on average 70 hours a week for my main employer and about 20 hours a week elsewhere.  It's a good life, isn't it, especially when you are trying to look after the increasing number of elderly and sick people, whose families just discard them because they say 'they can't look after them'.

Answer 7

Your tax code for the second job should be BR and you should pay tax at the 20p rate for ALL of the earnings for the second job.

Make sure that the job that has the least hours has the BR code.  Otherwise you'll be paying more tax than you need.

At the end of the year, you will get a P60 from both employers.  Add together the total gross pay,  add together the total tax paid and if the total tax paid is more than you would owe as if you were working one job then send the P60's to the tax office asking for a refund of the overpaid tax.
