Here's How Much Tax You Have To Pay If You Take Second Job If you are taking a second job, then you have to pay tax on it. Here is the reason why: When you take a second job, it is considered an addition to your income, and hence, it will be imposed as tax as your first job. The only difference is that the income earned by taking a second job would be subject to a higher tax rate than what was applicable while doing your first one. However, this does not mean that you cannot take up a second job without paying any tax on it and apply for tax rebate. It only means that if you do so, then the amount of tax payable will be larger than what would have been paid if you did not take up that second job.
