Hi there!?
I'm working 2 months full time over summer, doing 35+ hours each week.
The first month I only did around 3 weeks work as I joined late so obviously I didn't get a full wage (£860-ish).
However this month I will have done a full month and also got commission which I am expecting to get around £1200/£1300 (inc.commsion). That will be my last wage as I go on holiday and back to uni again and working part time (6-12hours weekly).

Do you think I'll get taxed for this months wage? Baring in mind it's my first ever proper wage!!!

Thanks :smile:


You will get charged some NI (national insurance) however that is very minimal and thanks to David Cameron's government you do not pay tax unless you earn over £11,000

Just spoke to Hm revenue. Because I haven't handed my P45 to my new employer I probably will pay emergency tax but I can claim that back within my next month wage
Surely the company you work for should sort it out (but I don't know the size of the company you work for)

You would think so wouldn't you?! Diabolical.
It's quite a big company as well ! Oh well!
Guess you learn the hard way
