I very nearly bought an LC. What put me off was if i ever wanted to sell it i could be landed with it.They seem slow to sell. They are an awesome machine. I bought an escort cozz instead.

In what way?

Unless the second income pushes you into the next tax bracket (40% tax bracket is >Ł33,300 of taxable income) you will be taxed at the same level as your main job.

my "second" job used to bring me in Ł170 per day as a coach driver sat/sun
when i got eh ay through though i was getting hit with a Ł70 deduction tax and stuff for each day (seperate pay slips etc so in essence, 3 jobs)

when questions about this it's because your "normal" job will get your tax stuff sorted
but if you get paid monthly and your tax brakect is, say, 4600, you get paid Ł383.22p a month before you have to pay tax on it
so the other stuff you earn will get taxed as if you are paying your full 25% tax on it

thats why he's going to get fucked in the ass with tax

if he's paid weekly it's still going to be the same even if he gets his other Ł paid monthly

Dan, you will have to pay 25% tax and 8% (iirc) on NI and thats it, no penality is present AT ALL for having two jobs and you will still be WAY WAY WAY below the cutover to 40% tax, it works out EXACTLY the same earning 2K in a second job as it would if you have a 2K payrise.

What Chip has said is correct. It makes no difference whether the extra income comes from a second job or your main one you will be taxed at your highest level.

Those levels are 10%, 22% and 40% (not 25%)

NI is a bit more complicated as its 11% of wages that fall between the primary threshold and upper earning limit but again, the fact its a second job has no bearing on the amount of tax paid.

People usually think they get screwed with second jobs as they won't have a P45 to hand in when they start so will more than likely and up on the Week/Month 1 tax code and pay over the odds.

Just have to claim it back and its sorted
