The rules are to be enforced from the 6th April 2015 and over 4 million married couples will be affected in addition to the 15,000 people with civil partnerships.
If you’re a civil partner or spouse and earn less than the statutory minimum to be paying tax, you can transfer up to £1,060 of your personal-tax free allowance to your civil partner or spouse as long as your civil partner or spouse does not pay more than the basic rate of tax.
