Does anybody know of any threshold (or something) you have to reach before being taxed 'properly'. A friend told me that she got taxed as a normal person would for her job (Income Tax, National Insurance) but, because she didn't earn over £4,000 that year (it was a student summer job at the local hospital, like mine) she got the Income Tax back. Now I'm in pretty much in exactly the same position but I've paid the Income Tax and not got anything back, despite only earning £1,000 before quitting because of uni.
What's even stranger, is that the last payslip I got was taxed more than any previous payslip even though I earned consistently during the 6 weeks (£220 a week, taxed £30: £180 net and all that....except this time they decided to tax me £50....) so I'm gonna have to shout at somebody down the phone about that.
But the question is, have I got some money coming my way or not?
Also, if it helps/effects anything, I'm 20.

Ah, again a similar situation to me. When filling in some forms before starting a job, I was asked "is this your primary source of income" and stupidly put no because my funding is more than I earn tutoring. The funding though is tax free and doesn't go into that category, so no tax needed to be taken from what I should have put down as my primary income. Perhaps you wrote something similar.
