My wife and I got married last October and have not yet chaged out tax status.
We have 1 child and last year I had to live with my mother for 4 months to help her after a hip replacement. We both claimed the lone parents tax credit during this time as revenue advised we were entitled to it.
Now that we are married I am confused at what credits we will both receive.
Currently we get €1830 for single persons credit, €1830 for paye credit plus €1830 for lone parents = total €5490. I have cancelled the lone parents in january for the new year.
As a married person do you get €3660 for married persons credit plus €1830 for paye credit = total €5490
Is it still the same or are their other entitlements I should be aware of?
2 years ago I was given my wife's PAYE credit of 1830 in error as she was on parental leave for the full year. Needless to say Revenue came looking for it back the following year and raised an underpayment of tax against me.
