    Hey

    Myself and herself got married in April.

    We have not done anything to our tax credits yet.

    I work and earn 50k

    She stays at home minding our child.

    She got a partime job offer recently and I suppose my question is from a tax point of view would it effect our joint assessment?

    8hrs per week @ 10 ph.

    Do we claim for Home carer allowance?
    How much of her bands and credit can I transfer?
    Will she get the paye credit for the full year if she takes job?
    Can we claim HCC and transfer bands

    Do we claim for Home carer allowance?
    If either of you are in receipt of Child Benefit, then you can't claim any dependent relative related tax credits.

    How much of her bands and credit can I transfer?
    She'll only make €4160 per year, based on 8 hours at €10 per hour. She has her own personal credit of €1650 per year. You could both easily go down the route of joint assessment. You could take all of her available credits, while she retains her personal credit.

    Will she get the paye credit for the full year if she takes job?
    It depends when she starts during the year. If she starts in week 1, she'll get her full credit of €1650. If she starts in week 26, she'll get half her annual credit of €875. (26/52 = 1/2 €1650/2 = €875)

    Can we claim HCC and transfer bands?
    Not sure exactly what this means.
