We received updated statements of tax credits that reflected this change and has all the credits/allowances (bar the two spouses working increase in the standard rate band of €23K - the €20,400 figure above relates to 2005) allocated to me/my employment. Surely some mistake or has something changed in the area of married taxation that allows this nowadays (if so, since when?)!If both spouses have taxable income, they can decide which spouse is to be the assessable spouse and request their Regional Revenue Office to allocate the tax credits and standard rate cut-off point between them in whatever way they wish. [PAYE tax credit, employment expenses and the basic standard rate cut-off point of €20,400 are non transferable.]

Seems very odd that the system didn't catch this anomaly when I did it online and was issued with an updated statement of tax credits showing that I had both PAYE tax credits.I have amended your credits to gant you one PAYE Credit. The PAYE credit is non transferrable.
