    I am working two part time jobs. As far as I am aware I have all my tax credits with one employer. For the last two paychecks I have recieved from my second PT job, I have been taxed at the higher rate, even when my main PT job would not push me over the standard rate, and I only earned €440, so only ended up with €260, can this be right? Mainly I am concerned about whether I will be able to claim back in January as my earnings for the rest of the year(Sept-May) are low as I am in College. I have just the normal tax credits of a single person plus relief on bin charges.
    Thanks for any input.

    well all your cut off and credits are with one employer so the second job was right to tax at 41% You can claim it back at the year end by requesting a p21.

    Alternatively, if you want to get it fixed immediately through the payroll system, ring your revenue district and ask for your credits and cut off to be split between the employers. You will need your pps number and also both employers tax numbers.

    if you are not sure how much to split the credits by, just ask the revenue and they should be able to help you. Ideally if you have an idea of how much you will roughly get in each job per week, you can apportion it in this way. when your employers get your new tax credit certs, the effects will be immediate in the payroll and you will get any money due back to you in your weekly pay. You may end up paying a bit more tax in your first PT job initially as your credits will be adjusted and you may have underpaid in this job
