EIS income tax relief & transfer

Hi,

Looking for a bit of advice and wonder whether someone can help.

I have £50k in an EIS and the shares were issued in September 2014. My issue is that while I had income in fy2013-2014, I didn't in 2014-2015, so can I get the income tax relief for the previous year? I should be able to claim £15k if I can assign them to the 2013-14 tax return, but nothing for 2014-15.

If not, my wife is still earning, so could I transfer the EIS to her and she claims?

Thanks in advance.
