Hello, my question is if i have a second job how much tax i have to pay?

thanks

TaxFix - Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

Anonymous: If you get a second job you will normally be put on an emergency tax code (BR). The amount of tax you need to pay will depend on how much you earn in the tax year in total for both jobs. Often when you work two jobs you can over pay tax, and so you should check at the end of the tax year when you get your P60′s.

I am a non-EU overseas student. I have a work placement in my University as part of my 4 years degree at the same University. I also have to pay tuition fee (international student rate) whilst I am on my work placement.

Can it be classified as scholarship, and can it be be exempt from Income Tax and National Insurance?

TaxFix - Monday, June 21st, 2010

Freond: How much do you earn a year? If it is below £6,475 you can claim back all your tax. If you earn more you can still possibly claim a tax refund.

Hi, I’m an international student without NI number. (as I have never worked in UK)
I opened up savings account and am wondering how to claim tax back on my interest?
In the forms that I can download, it needs NI number which I do not have.
It will be great if you can help!

TaxFix - Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Mich: You can apply for a national insurance number at your local job centre.

i am a student, so therfore, i should be able to calim NI insurance and tax back. however, this does not seem to be the case. can i not claim everything back if i have been working part time during univeristy semesters and full times during hollidays. as i have been told even if it is over £6000 i can cliam some tax back. also I have different tax codes on each of my statemen of earnings forms. ime very confused

TaxFix - Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

jkwondo: It does not matter if you are a student, what matters is the amount that you earn. Most students do not earn above the tax free allowance and so can therefore claim back all tax. You can use our tax rebate calculator to see if you are due a tax rebate.

Student 16 - Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

I am a full time sixth former. I have been offered a job for 4 hours a week which runs outside and inside schhol holidays. I will only get £2,000 per year. Can I use form P38 to be exempt from tax?

TaxFix - Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Student 16: Yes, if you earn under the tax free allowance (currently £6,475) you should not be paying any tax. Send your P38 to your local tax office and remember to claim back a refund for any overpayment.

Student 21 - Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

I worked full time as part of a sandwich course at university and earned over the taxable allowance. The following year while back at university I worked part time and did not exceed my taxable allowance for that year. Can I claim back on the tax I paid during my work experience?

TaxFix - Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Student 21: Even though you earned over the tax free allowance you may still be due a tax refund in that year. If you earned below the tax free allowance you will be able to claim back all the tax from that year. You can claim your tax refund by applying here.

Hi, I am a Part-time Student, working full time and carrying out a modern apprenticeship in Scotland. Do I perhaps qualify for any tax deduction or rebate; council or national insurance?
Thanks

Amalia - Monday, December 6th, 2010

Hi!. I started working in april 2010 and left UK (and my job) in November. Could I claim my taxes back if my total gross paid was £6,700? I already have my P45 and would like to use an agent but you only process claims with an average tax rebate of £1,220. What could I do if I’m outside UK now? Thank you

TaxFix - Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Amalia: We can process your tax rebate even if it is below £1220. As you earned below the tax free allowance, you can claim back all of the income tax that you paid. You can apply for your tax rebate here.

Full time student. - Saturday, January 15th, 2011

I’m a full time student, but also have 2 jobs, and I haven’t earned over 6000, should I still get taxed?

I was just wondering because I’m a full time student and will I get taxed even if I earn over 6000?

Also while I’m in full time education will both jobs be tax free while I earn under 6000, but If I go over 6000 will I have to pay emergency tax on a job of my choice?

Thanks.

Poor Student - Thursday, March 31st, 2011

Hi,

I have been working in my part time job since 2007. I remember I was on emergency tax for a few months and then back to normal.
I applied for tax refund as I was a FT Uni student. was expecting around 500+ but only received a cheque of 250 and that was for 2007.

So the question is: If in doubt can i ask for further invistigation/refund for 2007? if yes what forms/procedures am i looking at ?

Many thanks for your helpful advice

I am a British Student who works on Holidays. Do I have to present to my employer the letter from Uni saying that I am on Holiday so I can wrk more than 20 h?
I thought this was a requirement for the foreign students who are limited by the visa. However, my employer asked for it.

Alex - Thursday, January 26th, 2012

If I am receiving government funding for a full-time PhD but I also have a part-time job which pays considerably less than the tax free allowance, do I have to pay tax? (the combined amount takes me above the tax-free allowance)
