Married Couple바카라 사이트™s Allowance

  • you or they were born before 6 April 1935
  • you바카라 사이트™re separated or divorced and you바카라 사이트™re making payments under a court order
  • the payments are for the maintenance of your ex-partner (as long as they have not re-married or formed a new civil partnership) or your children are under 21

How much you can get

For the 2025 to 2026 tax year, Maintenance Payments Relief can reduce your tax bill by the lower of the following:

  • £436 - where you make maintenance payments of £4,360 or more a year
  • 10% of the money you바카라 사이트™ve actually paid - where you make payments of less than £4,360 a year

You cannot claim a tax reduction for any voluntary payments you make.
