So I worked from April - Aug this year and got taxed the normal basic 20% rate etc..earnt less then the £7.5k which is tax free...but I understand I will have to wait until the end of the financial year (march 2012) to claim the tax back.

What I am wondering is if I get a PART-TIME job now, which if I stayed on it for a whole year would work out less then the tax free allowance, am I still going to get taxed now regardless as well, or is it possible to be on a tax code where I wont get taxed now as it will be less then the allowance...and it will only be 3 months..as in december im going away till at least after March next year...as I need the 'tax' money now for my travels rather then having to wait till next year to get it back :p

Hope that makes sense, thanks for any help :P
 
I think I've followed the scenario, but I don't understand the question. How would a part-time job enable you to get your tax back before April?

Not get the tax back, rather not get taxed for the new part time job as if i was to do the job for the whole year it would still work out less then the tax free allowance for the whole year.
 
The tax will onyl work out to about £100 is it really worth all the trouble? If you need the money that much surely you cant afford to go traveling

haha yea i guess you are right, nah its not make or break for the £100 but still would rather have the £100 now then later..

Call HMRC and tell them you should be on a 747L tax code and they will update it accordingly.

Thanks thats the one I was looking for :)
