    Glossary

    Marriage Allowance

    The Marriage Allowance lets a UK basic-rate taxpayer transfer £1,260 of unused Personal Allowance to their spouse or civil partner, reducing the recipient's tax bill by up to £252 per year.

    To qualify: you must be married or in a civil partnership, the transferring partner must earn below the Personal Allowance threshold (£12,570), and the receiving partner must be a basic-rate taxpayer (earning between £12,570 and £50,270). Claims can be backdated up to 4 tax years. Apply via HMRC online — it's a 5-minute form and ongoing claims auto-renew.
