Receiving income from 2 employers

  Written by Marc  

I am receiving 2 IRP5s from 2 employers. Suddenly at the tax year end I find that I have been taxed too little. Calculating my income in 2 parts places me in a "x" bracket. Now when the 2 is calculated together I am being calculated in a different bracket and shows a huge amount of tax due. How do I prevent this?
