Hi Team, Could you please help me with my above query?

Thank you HMRC admin for the response. As per your advice, I have called the Self assessment helpdesk to confirm if I would qualify for the allowance. The helpdesk team member told me that we have to meet ANY ONE of the below eligibility conditions. But you have said that we must meet both the eligibility conditions. 1. Me and My wife must reside in the UK 2. Be a UK national or from the European Economic Area (EEA) Could you please confirm if we must meet EITHER ONE of the above conditions or we must meet BOTH of the above conditions?

Hi Team, Could you please help me with my above query?

Hi Team, I am fairly new to The UK and have been here for only 6 months now. I am here on Work Visa currently and has no access to Public fund. I have applied for Marriage allowance with HMRC as I am paying basic tax rate and my wife is not working. HMRC has accepted the application and my Tax code has also changed. Now, I am hearing from different sources that Marriage Allowance is also a benefit which, only the British Citizens can receive and since I am claiming it, this would be considered as a fraud and will be penalized and this may also affect my PR application in the future. Could you please confirm if the immigration status is also a factor for the eligibility of Marriage allowance? I was never asked about any information regarding my residential status or immigration status during my application for marriage allowance. I really don't want to get into any trouble by claiming something if I am not eligible for the same. Could you please help me on this?
