Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many HM Revenue and Customs staff he expects to dedicate to administering the transferable marriage tax allowance (a) in its first year of operation and (b) each year thereafter; and what estimate he has made of the cost to HM Revenue and Customs of administering the transferable marriage tax allowance in (i) its first year of operation and (ii) each year thereafter.

The estimated cost and the number of staff that will administer the Marriage Allowance remain as set out in the Tax Information and Impact Note at Budget 2014: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/293790/TIIN_2518_transferable_tax_allowance_for_married_couples_and_civil_partners.pdf
