Income Tax
If you work, then your earnings are classed as taxable income. Your employer should deduct this from your pay; for self employed people, the responsibility is on the individual to keep records of their earnings and then pay the tax due.
All taxpayers have a ‘personal allowance’, which is the amount they are able to earn before they pay tax. The current figure is £6,035 per annum. Tax is payable on all earnings over this figure.

You can pick-up a leaflet with some more information on income tax at the jobshop@kent office on the Canterbury campus or by our noticeboards in the Pilkington Building, Medway.
