    You get £8105 tax free each year... if you're earning over this, you will be taxed. Ie if you're earning 10k, you will be taxed 20% on £1895

    The employer will usually take tax but you may be entitled to a rebate. Either speak to the HR people or contact the tax office

    Is it definitely tax? or is it national insurance? they start taking that at roughly £110 a week.

    Is your tax code still stuck on BR? It should be somewhere on your payslip, either BR or 810L.

    There's a form students can fill out that you give to your employer and the they won't tax you at all you will just pay NI, ring tax office and they will sort a rebate

    If this is your first job then you might be on something called "emergency tax", tax code might be BR1 or something very similar. You need to contact your employers payroll dept.

    Surely if you earn over the limit, then you'll be taxed on it? Else a student could be an employee of their parents, earning the vast profits of their parents company, parents getting nothing on the books and the student not paying a penny in tax. Doesn't sound right to me.

    You need a P46 to send to tax office. Usually students can't save money properly so I'd leave it to build up, then claim it back when you need to buy something of largish value.

    The only other way you may end up paying tax is that your salary is over the threshold and you pay tax evenly over the year to make up your tax contributions.

    you don't pay tax on your first year as they need to calculate your earnings. They may take tax if they think you will be on a high wage and then you apply for a tax rebate in April the following year.
