    Hi, we got married in 2019 and haven’t informed tax office of any changes to our circumstances.

    inwas looking through stuff today and I wondered if we would be better off as joint rather than singular. she has just returned to FT work.

    the two salaries are. 60.850 & 47,931. Both are in the health services so pay some pension levies etc i that matters and have two kids.

    just wondering what to do if there’s any advice if we would be better off weekly. I’ve read through revenue website but tbh find it all a bit confusing. Thanks in advance

    You are both using your full allotment of rate band and credits based on those incomes. There's no monetary benefit to your currently switching to Joint assessment. However that may change in the future so no harm to opt for joint assessment with everything split 50/5. That leaves you exactly as you are right now but with the option of moving unused rate and and credits in real time if one spouses income drops significantly.
