Marriage tax breaks

Fixing broken divorce laws would have been far more significant.

You mean making it illegal?

make it more of a process than a war & remove the lawyers.


sharing tax allowances would encourage more stay at home mothers. I would have made it contingent on children, school age children and the main earner can use the spouses tax allowance (up to higher rate say).

If you make it just on Marriage its just going to push up house prices.

Married couples are normally cheaper for the state.

How do you do that?
Sure you pay a salary + divi up to the higher rate threshold, but (assuming your Ltd is making more) how do you get the rest out of the company without having to pay higher rate marginal tax on whatever method you use to do this (such as a higher dividend)?
