Part Time PAYE and USC

Hello.

Apologies if this has been addressed but a, cursory, search didn't answer my questions.

I'm in college and started part time work and am wondering how much tax should be taken away from my gross pay. I understand that USC is 2% across the board(?), however I don't know about PAYE. My most recent payslip was for €182, on which I paid €36.40 PAYE and €12.74 USC making a NET payment of 132.86.

This just seems excessive from my previous work experience and would appreciate any input.

Thanks!

That looks like you're paying emergency tax- did you give your employer a certificate of tax credits/ P45 from another job? If not, get on to your local tax office and request same.
If you get that done, your employer may be able to refund you (it's fairly late in the calendar year so it's possible that the tax office will instruct 'no refunds'). If you don't get refunded by your employer, you can get request a review of 2013 in January next by the tax office and any refunds due will be sorted by the tax office.

I should have mentioned, it's not emergency tax, I had my cert. sent over, but I suppose this does show that I could be paying a bit too much.

You paid tax on 182 @ 20% ,which looks like a tax credit cert with zero tax credits .

The amounts on your new tax cert will depend on your previous employment circumstances so far this year.

Is there a 2nd job , or P45 already this year ?
