You pay tax on the income you earn in a tax year, so if you are working now you are likely to earn well over £5000 by 5 April 2006. The personal allowance is a little less than £5000.
At the start of employment you might well not pay tax for the first month or two, because the PAYE system works cumulatively. So if you first worked in October and earned £1500 a month you would probably not pay tax for the first two months.
