Hi all,

Hoping someone might help me please with this as I am brutal when it comes to taxation and credits.

We are married, joint assessed, 1 dependent. Both paid monthly.

Gross Salary 1: 30K PA
Gross Salary 2: 17,850 PA (Part time -30 hrs p/w)

Can someone advise what the best way to split the credits is to maximize our take home pay?

I need to call the tax office about it, and the last time I was horribly confused, the poor tax office lady couldn't wait to be rid of me :eek: I'd like to be prepared this time.

Thanks!
 
tax credits of €3,300 each and as neither of you earn more than the standard rate band there is no need to amend those. However, as you're not too far off it, maybe ask to change the standard rate band to €23,800 for the lower salary and €41,800 for the higher.

If you are registered for PAYE online it is easy to do it that way.
