Tier-1 extension queries

I believe easy enough for the Gurus to clarify. 1. My current leave on tier-1 general migrant is expiring on July 2015 but we are intending to go for extension quite early in 2014 (couple of months from now). Is it allowed? can I extend my leave so early? 2. Once renewed successfully, is the date of...

But in that situation, one can't be on a particular tax bracket for all the employments. Do you agree? I mean, if one is doing 2 jobs at the same time, for one of them he will under a certain tax code but for the other job, he will be under emergency tax bracket. Is this correct?

But the address is a freepost address. Can a free post address be used for a special delivery royal mail service?? The address they have mentioned is:

Freepost RRYX-GLYU-GXHZ
Returns Unit
P.O. Box 163
Bristol BS20 1AB

Can this address be used for special delivery through Royal Mail???
