    Hi,

    I am employed in Ireland and have already my PPSN.

    My wife recently came to Ireland and applied for a PPSN (she is not yet employed in Ireland).
    She received today a message on mywelfare.ie and she was asked to fill in the Assessable Spouse Election Form.

    Regarding the tax credits and standard rate band to be allocated section in this form, there are three options:
    1. If you are already being taxed as a married couple and wish to have your tax credits and standard rate band allocated as at present, please tick this box
    2. If you wish to have your tax credits and standard rate band divided equally between you, please tick this box
    3. If you wish to have transferable tax credits and standard rate band allocated to the assessable spouse, please tick this box

    Which option should we choose?

    Thank you!

    If your wife is not yet working select option 3. You can amend this in the future if your wife starts working.
