Mordent 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 Just a quick question for any of you more experienced Brits in the world of work: I've started my first ever job in the past few months (the joy that is pub work), and can't quite work out why I'm on Basic Rate. I have no other jobs or other forms of income (exlcuding student loan), and as I believe it's relevant I'm 19 (so different minimum wage etc.)Thoughts on why I'm on Basic Rate, and how I go about claiming all that tax back? What sort of tax code should I be on? Cheers in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
