Civil partnership
A legally recognised relationship — for tax purposes treated like marriage.
A civil partnership is a legally recognised UK relationship (originally same-sex, available to all couples since 2019). For tax purposes, civil partners are treated identically to married couples — Marriage Allowance, asset transfers without CGT, IHT spouse exemption, etc.
