The 1480 is the tax you wll pay this year if you earn 25K
But since you are starting now, and the tax year runs from jan to dec, you will actually pay less tax.
(note that this is important so that you don't get a shock next january when you start paying a full years tax)
For now, figure out roughly what you will be paid from now until the end of december ( roughly 25K / 12 * 7) + a few days in May.
Say ~ 15K
This will be your taxable pay
If you put that into the calculator you will see that you will not have to pay any tax this year. ( you will be under the threashold.)
Note, this depends on you getting your tax credit sorted out now, so that your employer is aware of your tax situation.
Also note you will have to pay PRSI
ETA: Note, I am assuming that by saying ' this is my first real job' that you mean that you had sumer jobs before so so haven't earned anything since the beginning of the year. If my assumption is wrong, you should ignore my reply
Your earnings from the previous company are presumably assessable for income tax so if necessary you may need to do a Form 12 tax return to make sure that your tax affairs are up to date for 2007 (and previous years?).
You should get your P45 when you leave a job so I don't really see why there should be any delay. You don't get your tax credit cert from your (former) employer - you get this directly from Revenue and they also send your new employer a tax deduction card for payroll purposes. You want to get these things sorted ASAP when you take up a new job.
Don't assume anything! You need to add up your total projected earnings for the year to see what tax liabilities you might have. In any case you need to declare income even if there is no liability as far as I know.It was a short stint so I would say im still in the non-taxable bracket.
Normally when the employer gets your P45 things should be processed based on that. Your employer should get a tax deduction card and you should get a new statement of tax credits.How will revenue know to send out the tax credit cert to my new employer?

I suspect that you might want to get independent professional advice on your tax situation. As a contractor in the past it would have made sense for you to have engaged an accountant to help you with this.

I'm not suggesting that they are not legit but if you were an independent contractor then your tax issues would be your own responsibility. If you were PAYE then Revenue should have some info about you but it's still your own responsibility to ensure that your tax affairs are correct and that you are not under or over paying tax and PRSI etc.The revenue will know that I was working for that short stint as it's a very legit ltd. company, they would have declared any money they paid me.
If you were paying emergency tax then you should probably have been entitled to tax back once your credits etc. came through. If this never happened then you could still be due tax back.I don't think theres any chance of me getting in any trouble for anything seeing as the company I was working before as I said would have declared tax. In fact they definintely were as I was paying emergency tax.
No - tax credits and PRSI rates for PAYE and self employed are different. You need to look at the self employed info on Revenue and preferable get indepenent, professional advice (e.g. from your accountant).How do i find out my tax credit? and is this the same if i register for self employed?
Yes.so does that mean if i have a tax credit of one thou, and i earn 30 thou and my tax is 6 thou that i subtract one thou from 6 thou?
??
No.on that link it says tax credit for a Single Person: €1,630
its says PAYE Tax Credit: €1,490
so would the €1,630 apply to me? as I'm not going to be PAYE
I cannot answer these questions and would defer to the expertise of a professional tax advisor/accountant on them.again i checked business info on revenue and couldn't find this.
do i deduct my business expenses, before determining my income, for tax purposes?
Looking at VAT requirements I saw that I only have to apply if my annual turnover is over €35,000. Is turnover the money coming in before i deduct expenses?
So if i get in 40 thou and have 7 thou as expense, would i then have to register for VAT?
thanks
