10 quid an hour! woo hoo! The average shift (i.e. 1 show) is three/four hours long, so thats 30/40 quid in one shift! If I worked a whole weekend, doing three shows, I could earn 100 quid straight!

I've known people who have worked for stuff like £2.50p/h, personally I wouldn't bother!!
Depends how much he's been earning. he'll have a tax code- which states the amount of money he can earn. for example 486(insert letter) would suggest to someone that i can earn up to 4860£ then after that i would have to pay tax. you have to pay NI when you turn 18.
Well I paid NI on the money I earned in the summer, & I'm not quite 18 yet, so I think there's a flaw there Ad.
What is NI, 10% or something?
I thought tax was when you got over something like 4500k per year, that's disgraceful, & the highest tax bracket is when you get to about 30k, at 45%!! Robbing bastards.
Yeah but it's nothing to do with being at school. If you earned something like £90 per week, then that's about the amount you need to earn to pay tax on it I think? If I'm right with about 4500k that is. Thinking about it, 16 is when you pay NI isn't it, because that's when they send you the card through?
NI is a strange one because there is an upper limit on how much you can pay. You shouldnt pay tax in a year at all if you earn less than £4615. I just got all my tax back last month because i had been paying it while still under the personal allowance. this month i start paying it again so my wage cheque will be sad...
