Marriage Allowance and Tax Return

ATOMICPINK

I'm so sorry I've looked hard for the appropriate section so apologies if this is not.

I am employed and self employed. I have completed my tax return today (for the very first time) even although it wouldn't take into account that my spouse has transferred his allowance to me. My tax return calculated that I owed £212.00 more than I do.

My spouse does not need to complete a tax return , he is unemployed.

I have submitted the tax return and it says it would take 1-2 days to process.

What will happen with regards to the £212? Will I have to pay it and wait for a rebate?
Do I get a statement when its processed showing me what to pay? Will it know about the £212?

Please forgive me for being so unknowledgeable, it's my first time, I've been really stressing about this and my self employment is only a handful of hours a week!

no, me dim, I gave you the poorer link (now deleted that post to avoid further confusion) too many threads called marriage allowance

here is the guide:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/marriage-tax-allowance

and this is what it says:

In most cases, the allowance will be given by adjusting the recipient partner's personal tax code. The partner who transferred their personal allowance will also receive a new tax code, if employed. If the recipient partner is in self-assessment, it will reduce their self-assessment bill.

How will I be paid the backdated money? Whether you apply online or by phone, any money for previous tax years will be sent to you as a cheque. You won't have to tick any boxes or make a special request for this as it'll happen automatically

here is the better discussion of it
