Married couples allowance 03 - Did you live with any previous spouse/civil partner in the year to 5 April 2021

If you married or formed a civil partnership during the year ended 5 April 2021, you can claim one 12th of the married couple's allowance for each tax month, or part of a tax month, of your marriage or civil partnership, the tax month runs from 6th of one month to 5th of the next.

Occasionally, you may have already established a claim to married couple's allowance for the tax year in which you remarry or form a civil partnership. This can happen when perhaps a spouse or civil partner dies and you decide to remarry or form another civil partnership before the following 5 April.

In these circumstances, it is almost always more advantageous to continue claiming married couple's allowance in 6 April 2020 to 5 April 2021 for your former spouse or civil partner rather than to make a time-apportioned claim for your new spouse or civil partner. Therefore please select 'Yes' then enter the full name of your previous spouse or civil partner and their date of birth in the fields below.
