(1) These allowances reduce where the income is above the income limit – by £1 for every £2 of income above the limit. However they will never be less than the basic Personal Allowance or minimum amount of Married Couple’s Allowance. (2) Tax relief for the Married Couple's allowance is given at the rate of 10 per cent. (3) In the 2009-10 tax year all Married Couple's Allowance claimants in this category will become 75 at some point during the year and will therefore be entitled to the higher amount of the allowance - for those aged 75 and over. |
