    Me. Spouse
    Personal Tax Cr 3,300.00
    Employee Tax Cr 1,650.00 1,650.00

    Hi, me and my spouse are married but we are not joint assessed. On reviewing the P21 there is 3,300 in my section. Is that wrong.

    Regards

    You should have a combined standard credit amount of 3300 for a single person. That is 1650 personal credit and 1650 employee tax credit. Did you inform Revenue you were married? If you did, what option did you select, joint assessment, separate assessment or separate treatment? Was your spouse working during the tax year you received the P21/statement of liability for and did she earn enough to use up her credits. What does your tax credit cert for 2021 show?

    Hi we selected separate assesment. They know we are married as I fill in the forms online. My wife was out of work for 6 month's in that year but has since returned. She earned 15k.

    If you are separately assessed then only a small portion of her unused personal tax credit and up to 9000 of her rate band should have transferred to you after the tax year send when you both filed your respective returns. Separate assessment is pretty much the same as joint assessment without the in year benefits of moving unused rate band/credits from one spouse to the other.

    No harm to check with Revenue that they do in fact have you down as separately assessed for the year in question.
