[UK] Request HMRC to Transfer Surplus Income Tax Allowances

This relates to transfers of unused Married Couple's Allowance or Blind Person's Allowance to a spouse or civil partner.  This is via the form 575 (T) and can either be done online or by post.  If it is to be done online, you will need a Government Gateway user ID and password.   These can be created as and when you decide to apply this way.

The following details will be needed:

• the date of marriage or civil partnership
• The spouse or civil partner’s HMRC reference (found on any letter or form they’ve had from their HMRC office)
• The spouse or civil partner’s National Insurance number (found on the spouse or civil partner’s payslip, P60 or tax return)
• Details of income and deductions for this tax year
• Details of the allowances claimed for this tax year

Here are the links to the 575 (T):

• Online application (via the Government Gateway)
• Postal form
• Notes on completion

We are aware that this is late being published form 2020/21 but perhaps this is understandable given the COVID-19 pandemic.
