Nanny didn't tell us about other job...

Hi parents,

We had signed a contract with our new nanny and two weeks after that she told us that she has another job and we can't make use of any of her tax-free allowance and we will have to pay basic rate of tax on her net pay, which is 20%, which significantly increases her monthly salary (by about £170-£180 approximately). I am quite annoyed that we will have to absorb this cost as it is quite a massive difference. What should I do? She should have told us about her other job and I feel like I have been deceived. Any advice?

Thanks!

No we didn't, but when we were discussing salary she told us that we would have the benefit of all of her tax-free allowance.

Did you ask her?
