Hi,
I got married last year and want to sort out my tax affairs. I earn approximately €30,000 (give or take depending on OT) and my husband earns around €40-45k. We both work full time. I think it would be more beneficial for me to give whatever tax credits that I can to him and also any unused standard rate cut off allowance. Am I right to put my husband as the assessable spouse?
If I put my husband as the assessable spouse do we need to fill in a tax return every year or is it done automatically so that he can benefit from my unused cut off allowance? We both have average standard tax credits etc at the moment.
Thanks!!!!
