Hi Guys,

I got married in September and rang to advise the tax office of same - They told me there was no need and as we were both making around the same amount 36k - 37k that there was no benefit in advising them .

I received a leaflet to read through but to be honest I still don;t understand it. My wife is also going on maternity leave next year so I'm wondering what is the best thing for us to do -

Someone told me at the weekend that I have to advise them before the end of the year or it will be too late !!

Any advice is appreciated.
 
It makes no difference when they are advised.

You are treated as single people for the year of the marriage i.e. 2012.

If you want to take over some of your spouses tax credits during the year just advise them then.
