    The reason you are having a lot of PAYE and USC taken from your wages is because you are most likely on the emergency tax rate for PAYE and USC. This can happen in the case of first employments as Revenue have no record of you. If you haven't already done so, you need to complete a form 12A and submit it to Revenue.

    As your now employed its only your means that are taken into account .when you ring revenue to sort of tax ask about credit for other expenses like work shoes?worth a try.
