Answer 1

No way! Taxed for paper rounds?! That's wrong girl! Get it sorted and claim your money back!!! Jeeeeez I hate tax! Grrr.. Work ya butt off only to be ripped off for these stupid council tramps who are too lazy to work.. Benefits suck. Sorry

Answer 2

No. You are getting swindled.

Answer 3

Ask paper round employer for form P46, even if you did start 4 years ago. How long has he been deducting tax?

It may be that tax office thinks you have another job. Have you had a form P2 (notice of coding) showing code BR? If you have, contact tax office with that address and telephone number.

Answer 4

No you shouldn't. Your EMA isn't taxable anyway. You need to report this to your tax office and they will sort this out for you. You generally need to be earning over £5,000 per year to be taxed.

Answer 5

no u defo should not be getting taxed, call ur tax office and get it all back, u may be on an emergency tax code so it will need sorting out

Answer 6

No you should not be taxed unless you earn approx £100 a week.
