    Hopefully somebody will have some insight on this. I work full time during the day and the opportunity has come up for me to take some extra evening / night work for the Christmas period. I did this last year but both jobs were with the same employer so they put through my extra shifts with my salary. Now I am in a new full time job so would anybody know what would the tax implication be of having a full time job and a temp part time job with two different employers? Naturally since I know the night work will finish on NYE I dont want my 2009 tax stuff messed up!

    Thanks

    You can ring the revenue and ask them to share your tax credits,you can pay emergency tax on the 2nd job for now and do a claim at the end of the year or you can ring the revenue and tell them to give you 0 tax credits for the 2nd job as you are using them all up in your first one,so if you are on the higher rate of tax in your day job you get pay everything you earn in the 2nd job @ the higher rate.

    Ok, I understand from a tax credits perspective now - I would rather keep them for my FT job but would you know about SRCOP? Say I can earn up to 39k before I have to pay tax at the higher rate and in my FT job my salary is 35k that leaves a 'spare' 4k that would only have to be taxed at 20% IYKWIM? Is that possible? Would I need to get a second cert of tax credits for the second job? Might be easier to pay the emergency tax and claim it back. Its kind of like saving! Just wanted the extra bit coming in for Christmas :)

    If you ring the tax office you can ask them to split your tax credits between the 2 jobs,it may take a little while for them to get it done though but yes it is very possible.

    For two/three weeks work, I cannot see the point of doing anything else.

    One thing to check: is your day-job employer ok with you having a second job? Some are, some aren't.

    Ill mention it to them but I really dont care what they think :mad:
    I am stuck in a position of having to take a second because they decided to pay bonuses only to the people on the highest salaries :confused: It would be a different story if they were not paying them to anybody but to pay some and not others and be so obvious about it is unfair but thats just a side rant there :rolleyes: I had been counting on the bonus (as stated in my contract) to cover the extra cost of Christmas and now im not getting it so I have to make other arrangements.

    Might just go the emergency tax route for handiness sake.
    Thanks all for the advice (cant stand talking to the automated machine thing in the revenue)
