    Assuming you got married this year then yourself and your spouse will continue to be trated as single persons for this tax year. If you pay more tax combined as single tax people then you would have as a married couple you can claim a refund next year.

    After that said it all depends if your spouse is working and what her financial situation is. If you are the main or sole earner then you should change your cut-offs and tax credits to reflect marital status and then assuming you earn over the relevant thresholds your tax deductions will decrease.
