Hi,
My wife has not worked at all this year, and has not used any of her tax credits or paid any PAYE for this tax year. We never setup to get jointly assessed after our marriage, so I was always assessed independently, and didn't claim any of my wifes credits.
Can I now apply to use her credits for this year so close to the end of the year, and still benefit from it in this tax year? Am I correct in saying I am entitled to 1,650 in her tax credits, and also an extra 9000 taxed at the lower rate of tax?
If I fill in the form for this, will it happen automatically each subsequent year? or do I need to re-apply?
Appreciate any help on this.
Mike
