Students aren't exempt from any taxes, they don't usually earn enough to bring themselves across the lowest tax boundary hence don't pay!

Burgo90, its more of a side line mate. I hope to buy my first home when i have the funds to go ahead. I am looking to buy to rent, start with one and work my way up. Will probably be going in with my friend that has done it for years.
Would like to get back to building race cars one day as that was my main job for 3 years, but its so difficult to get a brake in the industry and earn good money.
Think Jim has the best job so far :wink:

a student must fill in a P38s which entitles you to not pay tax until you exceed the given weeks limit.
and if you earn over ?4350 then you pay tax like the rest of us
when i worked on a farm during the holidays id always wind up paying tax nead the end as i would ahve earnt enough in 12 weeks to put me over the limit for the first week of september lol
so yes students pay tax if you do legit work
students pay tax if you do legit work
legit being the word...
