    I've been separated from my wife for the past year approx.
    Tax-wise nothing changed...until the start of this year when i noticed that my payslip was down due to extra paye.
    It seems that my tax credits have been reduced as she is now in reciept of One-Parent Family Payment.
    I'm trying to understand why i am being taxed on a payment that she is getting, and if there is something different that i should be doing?
    I'm useless on tax matters...

    Also you can ring revenue, get your local number off the revenue site, or call in to your local office, they will be able to help :)

    I dont think you are being taxed on a payment that she is getting

    Look up One Parent Family Tax Credit -were you getting this previously?

    This was a tax credit both single parents would have got up until this year as long as you were not living with anyone else- it eas abolished in the last budget and replaced by the Single Person Child Carer Credit.

    This only goes to the primary carer -- but they can trf it to you --- see below

    Looks like ye were jointly assessed and you were using her personal credit of €1,650. As ye are now seperated the tax office must be classing you as a single person. Your tax credits will have reduced as a result of this.
