Marriage Allowance for Non UK/EU citizen

[Rajans]

Hi.

I'm from non EU country and have an indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
I'm a permanent resident here, but not a UK citizen.
My husband is also from non EU country and is having a spouse visa as my husband.

I pass all criteria of Marriage Allowance in order to give a part of my tax allowance to him.
But I was told by HMRC that Marriage Allowance can be applied only by UK and EU citizens.

As far as I checked, I can't find any information about it. (or maybe is it a just common sense?)

So is it true that I cannot apply Marriage Allowance because we are from outside EU?

I appreciate for your advice.

Could you apply in the end?

I dnt think so...as per my information you can apply as far you are legally residing in UK.
