[FEDup1981]

Yeah i dont think its much, think u still pay NI too

 

[lozzy21]

So you wouldent get taxed your 22%?

 

[kitty1987]

nah it's not the 22% mines around £3 which is tax and NI

 

[lozzy21]

If thats the case ill be gettin more in for the first few weeks than i will have when im working. But by the time it my turn the rules will probably have changed again
