You are allowed to earn £10,600 before you pay tax. This allowance is usually allocated to your first job, so if you start to work at two jobs at the same time your income from the second job will automatically all be taxed at 20%.

If you earn less than £10,600 from your first job you can ask HMRC to split the £10,600 allowance between the two jobs.
