    Hey there, I got married in November 2014. I earn approx 45-50k per annum, my wife earns 52k per annum, we are both paye.

    I'm really clueless about whether we would be due to pay more or less tax since we are now married.

    I would really appreciate any help

    Cheers

    No one pays more tax just because they are married. Based on the above figures there currently appears to no real benefit to you changing your basis of assessment to one of the married ones with Revenue. However it's no harm to opt for joint assessment with Revenue now in case your circumstances change and one of your incomes drop significantly.
