I submitted my SA four months ago but my 'tax has not yet been calculated'. My wife's SA calculation still shows no sign of her MA, so I'm guessing that we must wait for my SA to be processed, at least.

After a prolonged phone call, I am assured that when both donor and recipient are using Self Assessment, the recipient will only see the MA in SA once the donor has submitted their Self Assessment for the current year. I am further assured that it will all be straightened out later even if the recipient submits their SA without the MA included in the calculation. This is less than obvious and still to be proven in our case!

Our problem is that the MA transferred to my wife at her PAYE Code and lost to me on SA, but when she recently registered for SA, the MA hasn't appeared. Will this happen eventually, retrospectively, or will I have to submit the MA transfer again?
