@chrispalmerr: 9 big financial benefits to being married... 1. Inheritance Tax: Married couples can pass assets to each other 100% tax-free on death. Unmarried couples don’t get this exemption. Inheritance tax is 40%. 2. Transfer unused allowance: A surviving spouse can inherit their partner’s unused inheritance tax allowance, potentially passing on up to £1 million tax-free. 3. Marriage Allowance: You can transfer part of your Personal Allowance and save up to £252 a year. 4. Bereavement Support Payment: Only available to married couples or civil partners. 5. Pensions: Many workplace and private pensions automatically recognise a legal spouse. 6. Capital Gains Tax planning: Married couples can transfer assets between each other tax-free. 7. Savings tax planning: You can move savings to use both partners’ tax allowances. 8. ISA inheritance rules: Spouses can inherit ISAs and keep the tax advantages. 9. Intestacy rules: If you die without a will, spouses have clear legal rights. Unmarried partners often don’t. So… Is marriage about love… or is it the best tax wrapper in the UK? Does that make you feel better… or slightly nervous? #PersonalFinance #finance #retirement #firemovement #pensions
