The marriage allowance (also known as the transferable tax allowance for married couples and civil partners) allows you to give up some of your personal allowance to provide an amount (a tax credit) that can reduce the amount of income tax that your spouse or civil partner pays.

Like the personal allowance, the blind person’s allowance is deducted from taxable income before income tax is calculated. It can reduce the amount of income tax you pay.

The personal allowance is deducted from your taxable income before income tax is calculated. It can therefore reduce the amount of income tax you pay. The personal allowance means that you can have a certain amount of taxable income each year without paying tax.

If you have received some financial support from parents, other family members or friends who can afford to give or lend money, you will want to know what the tax implications are, if any. This depends on whether the support is through a loan or a gift of cash.

You may not have to pay tax on all of your income. Some income is non-taxable, not taxable, exempt or tax free. This means you do not include that income in your total taxable income and you do not have to pay tax on it.

Some income is called taxable, which means it forms part of the total income on which you have to calculate tax (though sometimes no tax may be due if the income falls within your allowances or is taxed at 0%).
