Hello
This is probably naive but...
I am the only wage earner and wonder if I can claim (my soon to be husband's) tax free personal allowance.
I work a full time job and agency(well I will be soon)Just wondered if his allowance can be transferred to mine?
Thank you in advance

But you could put some of your savings into his name in an ISa so that you get two lots of tax free interest.
