Second job

[#1]

My son wants to take up a second job, can he claim tax-free threshold if BOTH incomes combined will be below the amount set?
Thank you

@Tammy 

The taxfree threshold is for all incomes combined.

If you have two jobs and the total taxable income will be less than $18,200 then you can claim it in both jobs.

He will be pleased. He is only young so the chances of him earning that much will be small.

That is $18,200 total income including both jobs, Centrelink, bank interest etc.

He is under 16 so most things won't apply for him which helps. I will however keep eye on bank interest, so cheers for that!!
