Marriage allowance

Options
wondering if someone could clarify something for me.

I'm self-employed and I noticed that 3 years ago I only earned around £6000 and could have transferred my marriage allowance to my wife, if I do a back dated claim for only that year I take it the allowance won't be automatically applied to all following years as I  wouldn't be eligible?

    All years 2019-20 to 2022-23 should be individual applications.

    Application for the current tax year (2023-24) would continue until you were ineligible or cancelled it.

    It's only being a higher rate payer that makes you ineligible.
