Save £212 on Payable Tax

Recently HMRC have changed the rules of marriage allowance, which could potentially see you as a couple pay less tax. In this post we look at the specifics of the arrangement and how you can benefit from it.

Under the new marriage allowance rules, you can transfer £1,060 of your personal allowance to your wife or husband. Your personal allowance is the amount of money you earn before you have to pay tax.

For most people this is £10,600. Through transferring £1,060 of your allowance to your spouse, you will find as a couple you will pay £212 less tax a year.

The rules apply providing you were both born after 6th April 1935 and both you and your partner earn between £10,601 and £42,285 per year.

The Marriage Allowance See-Saw Effect

As it is a transfer, your own, or your spouse’s personal allowance will drop to £9,540. Nonetheless a tax saving can be made. To start the process with HMRC you‘ll need to know how much you earn in a year. Other income which is tax-free and savings interest under £5,000 should not be included.

If you were born before the 6th April 1935 you may still be able to make a tax saving by applying for the married couple’s allowance.
