I don't know. When I was in sixth form, me and a few mates worked a couple of nights a week as waiters. I used to try and juggle my shifts so they'd fall under (I think it was) £60, which was the threshold past which you started being taxed. I remember a bizarre situation where a mate who worked 2 hours more than me one week got taxed and ended up with less after tax than me.
I think it may well have just been NI, rather than income tax, but we still begrudged paying it.
