Example of standard rate cut-off point for a married couple or civil partners with two incomes

In 2016, the standard rate cut-off point for a married couple or civil partners is 42,800. If both are working, this amount is increased by the lower of the following:

24,800 in 2015 or

The amount of the income of the spouse or civil partner with the smaller income
If one person is earning 48,000 and their spouse or civil partner is earning 25,000:

The standard rate cut off point for the couple is 42,800 plus 24,800. The increase in the standard rate band is not transferable between spouses or civil partners, so the first spouse or civil partner's tax bands would be calculated as 42,800 @ 20% = 8,560 and 5,200 @ 40% = 2,080. The second spouse or civil partner's tax bands would be calculated as 24,800 @ 20% = 4,960 and 200 @ 40% = 80.

Tax credits

Tax credits reduce the amount of tax that you have to pay. Tax credits are deducted after your tax has been calculated and so a tax credit has the same value to all taxpayers.

After your tax is calculated, as a percentage of your income, the tax credit is deducted from this to reduce the amount of tax that you have to pay. So a tax credit of 200, for example, will reduce your tax by that amount.

You may be entitled to various tax credits depending on your personal circumstances. You can get more information about the different types of tax credits and reliefs and the tax reliefs available for people with disabilities. If you are entitled to tax credits that are not listed on the Notice of determination of tax credits and standard rate cut-off point that you get from Revenue, you should contact Revenue to inform them.

Tax allowances

Tax allowances reduce the amount of tax that you have to pay. The amount by which a tax allowance will reduce your tax depends on what your highest rate of tax is. This is because the allowance is subtracted from your income before it is taxed. In effect, it is taken off the top of your income which can then be taxed at either the standard rate or the higher rate, depending on your income level.

If, for example, you have a tax allowance of 200 and your highest rate of tax is 20%, then this means that the amount of your income that is taxed at this rate is reduced by 200 and so your tax is reduced by 40 (200 x 20%).

If you have the same tax allowance of 200 but the highest rate of tax that you pay is 40%, then the amount of your income that is taxed at 40% is reduced by 200 and so your tax reduction is 80 (200 x 40%).
This is known as tax allowance at the marginal rate.

When your employer is taking allowances into account in calculating your income tax, the way that this is done is by adjusting your standard rate cut-off point.

Allowances at the marginal rate include:

Ireland (Irish) Dates of filing Tax Returns / Reporting and Payment

Under the Self-Assessment system, you have a legal duty to make a tax return for a year by 31 October in the following year. While tax returns are issued to certain persons on Revenue's records who are considered likely to have a tax liability, it is your responsibility to complete and submit a tax return on time each year. Your tax return must be sent to the Collector-General's Division by 31 October after the end of the tax year i.e. your tax return for a given tax year must be sent in by 31 October of the following tax year. The earlier you send in your tax return, the sooner you will know your final liability for the tax year - this is important when it comes to paying the balance of tax due for a previous year and calculating your Preliminary Tax for the current year.
