i am a bit confused about the other members query because i thought that there is no married couples allowance now unless you where born many years ago.

i called my local inland revenue office today and asked them and they said i am correct that it is slowly being fazed out and is only available top the people born before ,,,,sorry i cant remember the date they said now..


BUT when you read about the tax allowances it is not clear and i also thought that it was available.

is the tax office wrong ???????????

John, don't get excited or too hopeful

No HMRC is not wrong, there is an still age-related Married Couple's Allowance ... but it only applies if one spouse was born before 6 April 1935.
Also, because it is an allowance, it is an amount that is taken off your tax bill - so it only applies if you actually pay tax.
