Hi there,
I just started working at McDonalds for full time until mid September, then switching to part time while at University. My pay is £4.35 at the moment but will go up a bit at end of July once I turn 18.
On my first pay slip I was taxed 20% and this is probably just as it was an emergency tax code.
However I got letter from H&M Revenue and they are saying that I am tax code 23t, meaning that I can only earn £238 before tax! (Or £4 a week!)
This seems wayyyyy wrong!! This is my only income at the moment, except my student loan stuff in September, but I didn't think that that would affect it surely? Maybe it does, I don't really know! Just wanted to ask on here if anyone knows if this is right or not.
In this tax year I expect to earn about £5000 maximum from McD's and my student loans etc will give me about £8/9000 a year. (This may change as I have to update my application to include McD's though as have not got to it yet as only began working two weeks ago and only just got all my full emplyment details)
