Not sure if anyone can advise on this - my husband works FT as a farm labourer and has a gross income of €22,000 approx. He is also a retained fire fighter - he is on-call and goes when needed. Currently all of his tax credits are assigned to his full time job and none to the fire fighting job. As a result he seems to be screwed big time in terms of tax. His most recent quarterly cheque was €6000 gross and he ended up with €2700 in his pocket.
What I wanted to know does it make a difference what way you assign credits - will you end up paying the same amount of tax no matter what or is there a "better" way of splitting his credits? We are jointly assessed - I work for the HSE and just have my own credits.
Any advice would be appreciated.
