Hi,
Forgive me if this has been posted before.
I recently found out that the amount personal allowance allowed on your tax if you are married had changed.
I went to the GOV.UK website and there filled out a few details about my wifes earnings.
It was really simple - no hard questions.
About 2 weeks later I received a letter informing me that my Tax code has now changed and a cheque for just over £400 which is backdated tax for the last 2 years.
Marriage Allowance lets you transfer £1,150 of your Personal Allowance to your husband, wife or civil partner - if they earn more than you. This reduces their tax by up to £230 in the tax year (6 April to 5 April the next year). To benefit as a couple, you (as the lower earner) must have an income of £11,500 or less.
