Proposed married couples tax allowances?

Question

Is this for all married couples or just those with kids?

Good idea. Married couples with kids work just as hard as those that don't so why shouldn't they get benefits too?

Answer 1

Married couples, we already have Child Tax Credit and Child Benefit for those with kids, married or not.

Answer 2

You know I may be a tad paranoid (have I mentionede this before?) who cares any way, In my experience the goverment are sooo soo good at giving benifets in one hand and then taking them back with the other. A freind of mine recently wanted to return to work after a period of illness. I was very impressed at the help she was getting and indeed sang the praises of the goverment for doing so. They made sure she would be better off financially and she got some inducements on top of her wage. Even if she became ill again within the firstyear she wouldn`t have to go through long process of assesment. Well her first year is approaching soon and she has just realised when all these benifets are withdrawn she will be plunged head long into poverty, now she is stressed out,doesn`t want to pretend she is ill, she likes the feeling of making a contribution. It so happens the cdompany she works for have been really good in making her choices of what to do now clear and distinct. Why am I telling you this? Oh yes tax allowances, if it seems to good to be true then it needs further investigation is what I say.

This is the old trendy lefty augment. Marriage is the best way to bring up children. it shows a commitment of a man and woman to one another. OK it can go wrong but all to often marriages break down over two things. Sex and money. Either there is to much or not enough. The government is right to encourage marriage and encourage couples to work out their differences.
It would save money in the long run and whether people like it or not reduce some of the crime we have

If human beings want toddlers, enable them to pay for them etc., etc. i've got faith greater valuable now.........
