Should I pay tax as a 17 year old with a part time job?

I started a part time job at a supermarket four weeks ago and I get paid weekly, and have been getting taxed. I've googled whether I should be but can't really come across any straight answers that I understand? Should I be getting taxed? I earn £8.83 which is above minimum wage for my age.

What tax code is shown on your payslip? If it ends in 'W1' or 'M1' then you're on emergency tax, but once the tax office has given your employer the right code to use you'll get back any tax you've overpaid.

Depends how much you earn in a year.

I'm on a 0 hour contract so I don't have a set amount per year eek,

just check your payslips for when you get a rebate. if not complete a tax return. How long have you been working there?

About four weeks now I think? I just checked my payslip for this week and they'd paid me back half of the tax I paid so I'm not worried now, thank you for the help!

ok - so did you get a payslip by end March? In any case, you just do a tax return next year - nice savings plan!

You do not need to do a tax return. After the end of the tax year (around this time of year) you automatically get back.any overpaid tax. It may take a while to come through (they have to sort through everyone's) but you will get it.
If it was at any point in the year (i.e. not near the end of the tax year) then you phone up the tax office, they sort it and change your tax code and you get any overpaid tax back next pay day.

You have far more confidence in Hmrc than I do!
