He shouldn't be getting the marriage allowance if you are both earning above the personal allowance (£12,500) and it will need to be repaid.

If you're earning 12500 or more, then you are not benefitting as a couple from the transfer as you will pay £250 extra in tax and your husband will save £250 in tax. If you are earning below 11250, you will benefit in full for the transfer, as a couple (£250 off your husbands liability, no increase in your liability). If you earn over 11250 but less than 12500, you will start to pay tax but it will still be less than your husband saves (for example you might have to pay £100 but your husband saves £250 so as a couple, £150 better off with the transfer).

As long as the recipient is not liable to tax at higher rates then they can have the allowance but as unholyangel explains above they might not   get any benefit from it. One pays less tax and the other pays    extra.

Notification of your post brought a typo to my attention. I meant below 11250, not before! Now corrected

Does anybody know if HMRC have sent the cheque to the company and they are now asking for ID verification before they send me the money, what happens if you don't send it back? we have not signed anything yet?
