Everyone is entitled to earn a certain amount tax-free every year. It is called the Personal Allowance. From 5 April that amount will be £10,600. But what if you don’t work or you only work part-time and earn less than this? From the new tax year starting 5 April if you are married or in a civil partnership you can give up to 10% of your personal allowance to your other half. That could add up to £212 to your household budget. You have to claim it and the only catch is that you cannot claim if one of you is a higher rate taxpayer.
