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.
Do you know someone who could be eligible?

​They can find out more and apply for Marriage Allowance on GOV.UK and use the free online calculator to find out how much tax they could save.
