    Hi all,

    is there a calculator that can be used to check whether myself and recent wife would be better off jointly assessed or not? I dont want to put our salary details up here but would be happy to PM if someone could help to work this out

    thanks in advance

    If both of you are earning over 35300 in the year there's no difference. If one is under then it's of benefit to be jointly assessed.

    Just to clarify that in order to benefit dinner of the tax credits should be transferred in that case to the person with the higher income.

    Useful if one partner is on maternity or working part time.
