Working 3 jobs, logistics?

DauphinAi

I've recently been offered 3 jobs.

One is only a couple of hours, one day every second week. The other two are relief positions which means I choose my hours so could feasibly do both jobs and split my hours between both jobs. (The reason I would do this is because I've committed to one already but the one I was offered after is the one I would really love. So why not split my time between both?)

So, what I'm wondering is, from a tax perspective, am I actually allowed to have 3 jobs? One of them as I said is literally about 4 hours a month.

I've never worked more than one job at a time. Just wondering about the logistics of how this would work and would like some advice if anyone has any. Thanks!

Easiest way would be to put all tax credits on one income and pay full tax on the other two and then have revenue sort it out at the end of the year.

I've worked in up to three positions in the past, on top of some freelance work, and it's very manageable from a Revenue/tax perspective - just divide your credits between the jobs based on how much you think you will earn in each one over the year. You can do this online. It's still a good idea to get a P21 balancing statement at year end to check you haven't overpaid.

Some contracts have a clause about working other jobs (these are usually full time jobs though), usually to ensure you're not working over 48 hours per week (as part of the European Working Time Directive). Your employers may request you sign a statement confirming this.
