Tax matters

We can help to make your tax issues less taxing.

At JSS appointments, we want you to enjoy temping with us so we aim to take the stress out of your pay and tax matters.

Taxation can prove to be confusing and costly if not dealt with properly. We aim to get all of our temporaries onto the correct tax code as quickly as possible. If you're in possession of the tax form P45, hand it to your JSS consultant with your first timesheet. If you don't have a P45, then we'll provide you with form P46 for your completion. You may be taxed at a higher rate until we're notified by the tax office as to what your tax code should be.

If you're a student we'll provide you with form P38. This will exempt you from paying tax during school holidays or until you reach the single persons tax threshold. If you're starting your first employment since leaving full-time education, we'll provide you with form P46. If eligible, this signed declaration will authorise our payroll department not to tax you until you've reached your earnings threshold.

If you're a married woman paying reduced National Insurance contributions, please let us have your certificate of election. If you're over retirement age (60 years for women and 65 years for men), please let us have your certificate of exemption
