Hi
I am using the ROS Offline application for completing my tax return for 2008.I am a little confused as when I go to the Personal Tax Credits Page it says my tax credit is 3660. I expected this figure to be 1830 as self employed people don't get the 1830 PAYE tax credit. I am married and am jointly assessed.
Thanks
Thanks for the response papervalue
Still a little confused unfortunately. My wife is PAYE and hence for 2008 she would have had tax credits of 3660(personal tax credit + PAYE tax credit)
It was my understanding that for self-employed people, they only had the personal tax credit(i.e. no PAYE tax credit), hence their tax credit amounted to 1830.
So still a little confused as to why I am getting 3660 in light of the fact that my wife would have had her own 3660 of tax credits for 2008
THanks
My wife is PAYE and got her 3660(personal + paye) tax credits for 2008 already.Married credit €3660( Counts both husband and wife together) €1830*2
Thanks for the reply Graham
In the ROS offline application it does not at any point ask for the income of your spouse. My wife is PAYE. I elect to be jointly assessed and there is nowhere to specify her PAYE income for 2008.
From my understanding they would have to check my wifes income etc when they are processing my form 11, otherwise not sure how they would know what tax credits she has used etc.
This goes back to my original point. If we are jointly assessed, my wife is PAYE and I am self employed we are entitled collectively to 5490 tax credits (1830 * 3) + service charges etc. On the ROS calculation page they calculate my tax liability for 2008 whilst given me a 3660 tax credit. I think this is wrong since my wife would have already used 3660 against her PAYE income for 2008 hence only 1830 left in the pot.
Perphaps it is the case that the liability figure produced in the ROS Offline application is only a guide figure and not intended to be 100% accurate. Then when you submit your form 11 and they process it they may post you out a different amount owed, likely?
Thanks
