Marriage allowance

[Output Flange]

On another forum, someone posted about claiming Marriage Allowance from HMRC, and posted the link to ::their page::

HMRC talk about income, and the chap who posted commented that his salary was £10k from his Ltd Co, but took dividends on top. Given dividends count for income tax, do they not impact the eligibility for Marriage Allowance?

Ok, I thought this had been scrapped some time ago! But I see this is about transferring allowances between partners, rather than an additional allowance for being married!

Dividends DO count.

Any income that is subject to Income Tax will count.

i.e.

Salary
Dividends
Interest
Rental Income

etc etc

Yes, this is different to the "Married Couples Allowance" which requires one or more of the couple to have been born prior to 6 April 1935.
