    You've taken your wife's 1650 personal tax credit. That's how you have 3300 personal tax credits.

    Her pay slip shows tax credits per month of 275 As does mine so it looks like it is split evenly and we never ask for me to get any of her credits. I will call the revenue as query. Thanks for the reply

    Depending on what each of you earns, it might suit for you to take her personal tax credit if she is only paying 20% and you are on the higher marginal rate.

    275 each on your monthly payslips would indicate a 50/50 split. If you login to your Revenue online account, go to PAYE services and click mange pay and tax 2020 you'll see how your credits are split right now.
