NI contributions and Tax are not deducted for earnings of such a small amount, as far as I am aware cologne


He certainly won't pay tax as he won't be earning enough.


There is a threshold for NI as well as tax moomin. It's quite difficult for you because you are so proud of him taking on a job and I suppose you don't want to dampen his enthusiasm, but he should be getting the minimum wage for his age. Contacting the restaurant to enquire about it could put his, and his brother's, job at risk. It's a difficult one but you also don't want him working for less than he is entitled to.

Thanks twee, I just wondered about NI. He should have had ÂĢ31.77 then. Smiler

then if he is kept on permanent after a certain period

he will get the min wage

he will not pay ni or tax

my daughter did not at that age


Hadn't thought about that cup - it could be I suppose.

I will wait until he gets his first proper payslip before asking his employers.
Then everything will be in black and white, so I can see what's what.

When I worked part time for a while I kept my wages below a certain level so that I avoided paying tax and NI. It was all perfectly legal but I always got the full amount of the hourly rate I had earned, albeit that it was quite low.

I think right now the minimum wage for under 18s is meant to be about ÂĢ3.60, which is what I'm on.

ÂĢ2.89...blimey Disappointed Perhaps speak to his boss about it?



is that after taxes/NI though?.....don't know much about this, but it does sound low Frowner

also it is possible he's paying an emergency tax until his tax code etc are sorted out.... in which case he should get a rebate in time. my daughter worked in a hairdressers for a few years up to she was 18 and faced a similar situation

Not sure this is the case as he won't be paying any tax - it's only a part-time weekend job while he is still at school.
