Married People: Tax Allowances
(asked on 5th April 2019) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make it his policy to increase the marriage allowance.
This question was answered on 9th April 2019
Every time the personal allowance increases, the marriage allowance automatically becomes more generous.
The increase to personal allowance to £12,500 means that, from April this year, eligible couples will be able to transfer £1,250, compared to £1,060 in 2015-16.
This means that in 2019-20, eligible couples can receive a tax reduction of up to £250, or £1,150 if they make a backdated claim to 2015-16.
