What is to happen to Married Couples Allowance after 2012-2013?

What is to happen to Married Couples Allowance...

Didn't find your answer?

Does anyone know the proposed Married Couple's Allowance for 2013-2014 et seq? Or whether the allowance will continue?  HMRC's website is silent on the issue, and professional firms' websites quantify it as TBA.

Is it possible that GO hasn't thought of it? (Perish the thought!) Or ,since the qualifying date is 1935, does he hope  the problem will gradually resolve itself?

As it has not been mentioned

the intention may be that it is frozen - although this is not specified, it would seem inconsistent to carry on increasing it when the remainder of the Age Allowances remain at the currrent level

And while on the subject - there are still some pensioners receiving tax relief for maintenance payments!
