Worth a try ?

A friend told me that if your partner does not use all their tax allowance the unused bit can be transferred to the higher earner.  Go to gov.uk/marriage-allowance  to apply.  It is the lower earner that applies for the transfer to the higher earner.  If it works the higher earner pays less tax!

We did it last year when it was in the papers. It's only £250 but better we have it.

This what the taxman will do:-
"We’ll reduce your (Ann's) personal allowance by £1,060 and increase your spouse (Chas') or civil partner’s allowance by the same amount. This will apply for the current tax year and will continue into future tax years."
