Hi all, would appreciate if someone could offer some insight into the following;
- Married in 2016
- Updated civil status with Revenue Jan 2024
- Remained “single assessed” as wasn’t sure what changing to “jointly assessed” would mean
Can I change my assessment type to “joint” on Revenue now? Can’t see an option for this, other than my civil status is “married” with a single personal tax credit.
Secondly, my wife has been off a lot over the past 5 years (maternity leaves). There’s definitely years where she wouldn’t have used even the 20% threshold, whereas I was paying tax at the higher rate. Is it possible to retrospectively apply “joint assessment” or a way of applying the balance of her unused 20% against the higher rate I paid?!
Thank you in advance.
