Would appreciate if anyone could help me am currently earning 29000 a year am considering getting a weekend job in a local hotel doing some bar work wondering how will i be taxed. If it will mean that i will be paying more tax than i am earning i don't think it would be worth it.
If you are earning 29000 in your current job, you can transfer 5000 (assuming you are taxed as a single person) to a second employment to make up your standard rate cut off point of 34000. You would be taxed @ 20% on the first 5000 and 41% on earnings above 5000. It would probably be worth your while for at least the first 5000 anyway.
