I don't know if it's been mentioned already but you can also claim "marriage allowance" from the tax man if the higher earner (incl. pension payments) is still a basic rate tax payer. It is only £250 per year but "every little helps" and is very easy to claim online. Also you can back date it to prior years
AnnK, MASSIVE THANK YOU to you for this info. Set me thinking that it probably applied to me so applied online (very simple) and about a week later got a cheque for £899! Brilliant advice on here and excellent service from HM Revenue and customs. Tax code adjusted so will continue to benefit in future years.
