TAX! P46, part-time...

Post by MartinMail »

Got my first pay slip through yesterday. £31 out of £142 to Tax. Was thinking this was a bit much, called the number on the back, the guys says there was a problem, check my p46 get a new one if needed. Done all that waiting on next weeks pay slip, just wondering how much tax should be taking out from
£142. Part-time, 17 year old, no past jobs, former student? :cfo :lfo :crazy:

As Stuart said it is probably emergency tax, you will get it back when they've sorted you out a tax code
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

If it keeps up, you can contact your local tax office. You could tell Royal Mail too... but I wouldnt know who to tell...
