Unused weekly tax credit (and carrying it forward)

I work in hospitality and was laid twice this year due to covid lockdowns but have since returned(twice) to full time work with the same employer. I normally work a forty hour week and get 3300euro yearly tax credit.
In the respective weeks i was laid off in march and october (and i was laid off abruptly) I worked only two days rather than the usual five.

That is to say on two weeks this year I did not fully use my tax credit.

Can the unused tax credits be used in one of the remaining weeks of 2020? There is a likelihood than unused annual leave will be added to my payslip for the remainder 2020 so the extra tax credit would obviously offset the higher tax bill.

Hope you can help me :)
 
Simple answer is yes, don’t forget the PUP payment is taxable income.
If your employer is using the credits strictly on a weekly basis then you may be due a refund instead which you should be able to apply for mid/end jan
