Marriage Allowance - who can claim and what can you claim?
Marriage allowance lets you transfer £1,260 of your personal allowance to your husband, wife or civil partner.
This then reduces their ta bill by up to £252 in the tax year (6th April to 5th April the following year)
Personal Allowance is the standard allowance given which is tax free. Currently up to £12,570 (ask your accountant if you're unsure)
Who can apply?
You can claim marriage allowance if all of the following apply:
- You're married or in a civil partnership
- You do not pay income tax or your income is below your personal allowance
- Your partner pays income tax at the basic rate, which usually means their income is between £12571 and £50,270 before they receive marriage allowance.
You cannot claim marriage allowance if you are just co-habiting.
