Married - unusual work situation?

    Hi, just looking for a little bit of advice on te best way for myself and my husband to allocate our tax credits and cut off points for 2013. We only got married this year so 2013 will be our first joint assessment year.

    My husband earns >40k, works full time in one employment and is paid monthly.

    My work situation is more unusual - I work for a few different employers on an ad hoc basis. I have a good bit of work lined up for Jan and Feb, will be working 5 days a week for one company and 1 day a week for another one. I get paid weekly or every couple of weeks. It changes a good bit in that there could then be a week where I'm only working 1 day a week for someone and 1 day for someone else... I get in and around 225-270 per day gross when I am working.

    How should we maximise our take home pay? I'm a bit confused =\

    I'm really not sure - other years it was >50k, this year it's around 35... The lowest it would be is 25 and the highest 60 - very unpredictable line of work

    Probably best leaving as is until June and see how it's looking then

    You can always get it checked in January 2014 anyway
