Marriage Tax Allowance Claims
A tax refund is a refund of tax which has been overpaid by a taxpayer. There are a number of reasons why tax may have been overpaid. A tax refund is a reimbursement to a taxpayer of any excess amount paid to HMRC or Her Majesty Revenue & Customs. Taxpayers tend to look at a refund as a bonus but it most often represents an interest-free loan that the taxpayer made to the government.

Married couples who live together and have no children can claim a £1,250 marriage allowance from HMRC. But what if things don’t go to plan? What if your partner becomes incapacitated, dies or the relationship breaks down? If you’re unlucky enough to be in this situation, it’s important that you are aware of what your options are with regards to claiming a married couples allowance refund. If you fall out of love with your spouse but stay living together for financial reasons, then it won’t count as an official ‘marriage’ for tax purposes. This means that you will not be able to claim the married couples allowance or any other marriage-related benefits such as universal child care vouchers or marriage relief on your home.
What is a married couples allowance?
The married couples allowance (MCA) is a special tax break that allows married couples to transfer £1,250 of their unused tax-free personal allowance to their spouse. This means that, if one of the spouses earns £10,000 per year, they will pay £0 in income tax. If the other spouse earns £20,000, they will only pay tax on £9,750. The MCA is designed to help ‘low-earners’ by allowing them to transfer some of their unused tax-free allowance to their partner, who then uses it to reduce their tax bill. If you earn less than £19,000, you are automatically treated as a low-earner and are allowed to claim the MCA.
How much can you claim?
If you are a low-earner who is married to a non-low-earner, you are allowed to transfer £1,250 of your unused tax-free personal allowance to your spouse. For every additional £2,500 that your spouse earns, you are allowed to transfer £1,250 of your unused tax-free personal allowance. This means that, if your spouse earns £35,000, you can claim £2,500 of your own unused tax-free allowance and £9,750 of your spouse’s £35,000 salary. This means that your spouse will pay tax on £32,250 rather than £35,000. This means that married couples can save an average of £1,300 per year.
What happens if your marriage ends?
If you are claiming the married couples allowance and your marriage ends, you will either be able to carry on claiming the married couples allowance or you can claim a refund of the allowance that you have already claimed. You will be able to claim a refund of the allowance if your marriage ends before the end of the tax year (5th April). If your marriage ends after the end of the tax year, you will be allowed to claim the married couples allowance for the remainder of the tax year and for the following tax year. You will not be allowed to claim the married couples allowance for any future tax years, even if you get remarried.
What happens if your spouse dies?
If your spouse dies before the end of the tax year, you will be able to claim the married couples allowance for the remainder of the tax year and for the following tax year. You will not be allowed to claim the married couples allowance for any future tax years, even if you get remarried. If your spouse dies during the tax year, you will be able to claim the married couples allowance for the remainder of the tax year. You will not be allowed to claim the married couples allowance for the following tax year, even if you get remarried.
Other tax implications of a failed marriage
If your marriage breaks down, you and your former spouse will lose out on the married couples allowance. To make up for this, you will be allowed to claim a higher standard tax deduction. If you were claiming the married couples allowance, you will be allowed to claim a higher basic tax deduction instead. If you were claiming the higher basic tax deduction, you will be allowed to claim a higher higher tax deduction. If you marry someone who earns more than you, you will be able to claim the higher higher tax deduction. If your new spouse earns less than you, you will be allowed to claim the higher basic tax deduction.
Summary
The married couples allowance is a great tax break that allows you to transfer £1,250 of your unused tax-free personal allowance to your spouse. If your marriage breaks down, your spouse will lose out on the married couples allowance. To make up for this, you will be allowed to claim a higher standard tax deduction. If your new spouse earns less than you, you will be allowed to claim the higher basic tax deduction. If your marriage ends before the end of the tax year and you are allowed to claim a married couples allowance refund, you will have to prove that the marriage has broken down. If your marriage ends during the tax year, you will be able to claim the married couples allowance for the remainder of the tax year.
