I have a fairly basic q. on income tax ( well I hope so) - I'm earning 53000 gross, and I pay 233 monthly to a company pension. My wife was working earlier this year on a temp contract earning 40K per annum but worked 4 months only. Since then shes been in receipt of maternity benefit and we've just had our first child. She will not return to work until next year and will have no other income. I contacted the tax office to see if my tax credits would increase due to our circumstances, but they say no, as my wife had already transferred the max to me. Is this correct? Money, naturally is tighter and I just want to be sure we are getting the max tax benefit. I'm getting about 3100 in take home pay- is this correct? I tried the calculator, but find it hard to work in our circums. I'd appreciate any advice.
