Hi all,

My wife finished working in June and signed on for unemployment benefits.
We sent a letter to the tax office with her P45 informing them that I would like to claim her tax credits, however we never heard anything back.
Am I entilted to claim her tax credits, or is it because she's claiming unemployment benefit the reason why my tax ramins the same?
 
How were you taxed up to now - e.g. were you already on joint/aggregated married taxation, separate assessment or assessment as two individuals?

Note that UB is assessable for income tax so it will "use up" some of her tax credits. Note also that not all credits/allowances/standard rate bands are transferrable. Can't link to the Revenue website at the moment because it seems to be down.
