Question!!

I am currently on career break from Job 1. I am working with Job 2, and have decided I’ve had enough and going back to Job 1.
However… the two are going to overlap.. however… I am owed holiday from Job 2 which I am taking as my notice period… but I also have jury service which Job 2 has asked for proof of.
I am allowing a cross over of both jobs by using holiday from Job 2 and jury service and then to cover my jury service from Job 1 I am using holiday.
Neither know anything about the other. I’m so fed up about Job 2 I have jumped back to Job 1 early.
My tax code for Job 2 is 1160 and my tax code for Job 1 is 1250L so I know I’ve been paying too much tax for Job 2, which is fine, but I want to make sure that when I’m paid for both jobs that Job 2 will charge me the 20% right? And that the tax I’ve already paid extra will cover any shortfall?

If you login to HMRC's Personal Tax Dashboard you can enter your estimated income for each job and HMRC should issue new tax codes. Neither employer will know why a new code has been issued. After the tax year has finished, HMRC should recalculate how much tax your paid and either issue a refund if you've overpaid or send a bill if you've underpaid.

    If you have had tax codes of 1160 and 1250L simultaneously you have been pa\ying far too little tax. Your tax code represents your tax free allowance and you appear to have had 2 tax free allowances.
