Did you know that married couples and civil partners in the UK can legally reduce their tax bills by transferring part of their tax-free Personal Allowance? The Marriage Allowance allows one partner to transfer up to £1,260 of their unused allowance to the other, potentially saving them £252 per year in tax.
To qualify, the lower-earning spouse must earn less than £12,570 and be non-tax-paying. The receiving partner must be a basic rate taxpayer (earning between £12,570 and £50,270).
Applying for Marriage Allowance is simple—eligible couples can claim online through HMRC. The great news is that claims can be backdated up to four years, meaning you could receive a refund of up to £1,256.
This allowance is especially beneficial for retirees, part-time workers, and families where one partner stays at home. If your financial situation has changed due to job loss, reduced hours, or retirement, it’s worth checking if you qualify.
With tax allowances tightening, utilising options like the Marriage Allowance can make a big difference in managing household finances.
