Tax on Second Tempory job

Flesh Gorden

Right, I've had my hours cut back to Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but instead of taking the easy option and heading onto the dole
I got myself tempory full time work with a marketing company doing merchandising work ( filling shelves and window displays )

My worry is how much am I going end up paying in tax from this second job


main empolyer has p45 - and I don't start job 2 till next week so I'm unclear on what to do tax wise

I've been told they'll try and find me other ad-hoc work in the new year,
so I really don't know what my tax position is


if all goes according to plan I should make at the end of the month

close to €1250 job1
close to €1000 job 2

Also any pitfalls I need to beware of?


Thanks

It depends on your income previous to this as well. Tax is calculated on a yearly basis to include all income. If your total income for this year is the amounts you stated above then you wouldn't (shouldn't) be taxed at all as your income is well below the threshold for paying tax. However if there is other income or income from a previous employment that needs too must be taken into account.

You need to split your tax credits between the two jobs ., otherwise , you may pay tax .

Ring tax office and tell them you have two employers .

If you do this, don't forget in the future if you go back to one job only to allocate all your credits back to that job.
