After what income per week shall I be taxed?

Question

I have just turned 18 and my pay will be going up to £5.38 per hour. I generally work 16 hours per week but will be seeking more if I won't be taxed too much. I'm still in fulltime education I believe (University first year) if that affects anything.

Answer 1

I calculate it is £96 per week - see source which sets out rates etc

Answer 2

Full time student - you shouldn't be taxed at all. If you are, claim it back using a p60 form at the end of the tax year. You'll get a nice cheque in the post from the taxman!
