Okay someone who knows tax help meeeeee. I just got my first payslip, and ive just been taxed $78

I work casually, I only earned $120. and got taxed more than half my pay? Idk this doesnt seem right. I am going to ask my supervisor at work, but just wanted to ask if anyone may know why.
Also the pay slip says 'please give tax number asap' when I did actually give it to them. So idk

Happened to me as well, they put you on "emergancy" tax at first until you follow it up with them. You'll get it back, you've just gotta ring them up.

@SeductiveCactus That's in the UK but you deffo shouldn't be getting taxed that much anyway. That's how it goes in most countries anyway when you get your first cheque.
