Good morning everyone. Can anyone explain, in terms a child could understand, how this works? I’ve read the shite on the government site, but it’s not going in me heed. Forgive my numbnuttedness, I am but a welder.

You can transfer some of your tax free allowance to your spouse, and vice versa.

Only works if one’s a basic rate taxpayer and the other is a non taxpayer
 
As said above, if you’re married or in a civil partnership and one of you earns below £12,570 and the other a basic rate tax payer it as simple as completing the form on the .gov website and your tax code will be adjusted accordingly.

You can back date the claim too. When you go through the site it’ll ask which years you want to back date to and so long as you were married or in a civil partnership and earnings as above you can.

 
Bumped my tax allowance up as the mrs works part time

Think I get £14500 tax free (including mileage allowance for work), got my tax form through the other day about it
 
Could you do this if you're not paying tax but receiving a bursary for study/training which is more than the personal allowance? Essentially, I'm being paid to re-train but don't get taxed on it.

I find this stuff incredibly confusing.
 
It also works for me as our lass (no) doesn't work. So I claim £1100 of her tax allowance.

If the bursary is non taxable then yes it should be ok.

Yes, I can confirm this definitely works.
 
If you pay tax
and your wife/husband dosnt
there are allowed to give you 10% of there allowance ie approximately £1200 pound a year
means you pay £240 a year less tax
approximately
