What is Marriage Allowance?
Marriage Allowance in the UK is a tax relief designed for married couples and civil partners. It enables the lower-earning partner to transfer a portion of their unused personal allowance to the higher-earning partner, helping the couple reduce their total tax liability.
How does this marriage allowance work?
- To qualify, one partner must earn less than the basic personal allowance (£12,570 for the 2024/2025 tax year).
- The other partner must be a basic rate taxpayer, with an income between £12,571 and £50,270 for the same tax year.
- The lower-earning partner can transfer up to 10% of their personal allowance—equivalent to £1,257 in 2024/2025—to their higher-earning partner.
- This transfer can lead to a tax saving of up to £251.40 for the year.
Who is Eligible to Apply for Marriage Allowance?
Eligibility for Marriage Allowance in the UK is determined by the following factors:
Marital Status: You must be legally married or in a civil partnership. Couples who are simply living together without a formal marriage or civil partnership are not eligible.
Income: One partner’s annual income must fall below the personal allowance threshold (£12,570 for the 2024/2025 tax year).
Taxpayer Status: The other partner should be a basic rate taxpayer, earning between £12,571 and £50,270 during the 2024/2025 tax year.
Living in the UK: Both partners should live in the UK. However, if one partner lives abroad, you may still qualify provided you are entitled to a UK personal allowance.
If you meet all these conditions, you can apply for the Marriage Allowance and potentially reduce your overall tax liability.
