Income Tax Allowance

[Harry-Wragg]

I'm getting nowhere with my local income tax office, i.e. they will not answer their 'phone! I have 3 simple questions which I am sure someone out there will know the answers to.

1. Can a cohabitee claim married person's allowance?

2. Does having children (under 16) increase the allowance?

3. How much is the married person's allowance?

I would appreciate any information - HW

married persons allowance does not exist so no no no

Bednobs is correct.

however, one of you has to e born before 1935 to qualify Co-habitees dont count

having children under 16 does not increase income tax allowance - you could look at tax credits though
