Marriage and Taxation

February 9, 2010 · Posted in Marriage, Taxation 

How marriage is penalised under Labour’s tax regime:

…a one-earner married couple, with children, earning up to £33,000 a year, pays almost a third more tax in the UK than in the average OECD country and 18 per cent more than the EU average.

This is according to a report issued by CARE.

 

So, Mr Cameron, be bolder in your ambitions for recognising marriage in the tax system. A little bolder than just saying that any changes will be “more about the message than the money.”
