Money expert Martin Lewis has shared his advice to couples who could be missing out on £1000-plus. The 50-year-old financial journalist and broadcaster opened the final episode of the current series of ITV’s The Martin Lewis Money Show by talking about the marriage tax allowance.
“There are up to 2.1 million eligible couples who are not claiming this tax perk,” Martin began before telling people how they could get it. He explained: “You must be a non-taxpayer married to a basic 20% taxpayer.”
Martin added: “The non-taxpayer uses gov.uk to transfer 20% of their tax free allowance,” before showing an animation of how it all works. He then went on to discuss the perks that you could get if you are eligible.
