DWP Update: Marriage Allowance – couples can save up to £252 a year on their tax bill

Some couples can save up to £252 a year on their tax bill by claiming Marriage Allowance.

To benefit from Marriage Allowance, the following circumstances must apply:

• the couple are married or in a civil partnership.
• one person does not pay Income Tax because any income they have is below their tax-free Personal Allowance (usually £12,570).
• their partner pays Income Tax at the basic rate.
