Thanks for the replies! Well good to know it's not likely there will be any deductions. Yes I'm UK (outside of London) and the PhD was an advertised one with allocated funding, where I was told the amount I'd be getting when applying. I had no idea this was low, though I'm thrilled to have been accepted. I'll be doing 6 hours a week teaching.
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and have just been offered a PhD place starting September this year. It will involve a few teaching hours a week, for which I will be paid, and a stipend. I have a question that I'm trying to find a clear answer for, and haven't managed so far.
The teaching hours will be paid at £7380, plus the stipend will be £5000 - so £12,380 in total. I'm trying to work out what this means regarding my tax situation?
I know the £5000 is not taxed, but the teaching hours are. In total, it takes me above my taxable personal allowance, but is only the £7,380 taken into consideration when it comes to this?
So will I, in effect, not have anything deducted, because the taxable amount is not above my personal allowance? Or will I be taxed on everything above my allowance (£9,440)?
Very grateful for anyone who can give me an answer, without me having to phone the tax office! :-)
