Myself and my fiance bought a house last year (we are first time buyers). We have been claiming Mortgage Interest Relief (at the single rate). We are getting married in a few months time. Are we entitled to claim the MIR rate for a married couple after we wed or can we only still claim what we are claiming now? Any advice much appreciated.
2 x individual TRS on mortgage = 1 x married couple TRS on mortgage
IMHO there is little or no benefit in combining tax status upon marriage unless one party intends not to work, or has a part time/low paid full time job.
I'm going to get shot down now!..........................................................................................................................................
