Cancelling marriage tax allowance

  • Why is it a bummer?

    If you are earning enough to pay tax (after taking into account Marriage Allowance) then it will save you £250 in the current tax year.

    And your wife will have to pay £250 more.

    No worse off overall than if you changed things back to normal.
  • Hi wondering I have just cancelled my marriage allowance but I have been told that I have to pay back 2015/2016 taxes.
    How can this be right

    You'd be better starting your own thread, and providing more information. Are you the person receiving or giving the 10%? When you cancelled, did you cancel for all years or just from a specific year?

    They've charged you a fee for making the application on your behalf - they're not providing the allowance. 

    If you've signed a deed of assignment then the only way to have it cancelled is if the company agrees to it. The good news however is that you can only assign what you yourself have - so can only assign previous years and not the current or future years.
