CARE's Research on the Benefits of Increasing Marriage Tax Allowance on Premier Radio

Marriage and Family
18 January 2017
Premier reference 8 1

CARE's latest research on the UK tax system was highlighted on Premier this week. CARE is calling for change to the UK's individualistic tax system; we believe the best way to create a shared society and reduce the tax burden for struggling families is to increase the marriage tax allowance.

Conservative MP Fiona Bruce "It is particularly concerning that at present more marriage tax relief is afforded couples in their 80s and 90s, whose children will have left home long ago, than on all other marriages including those caring for young children. Whilst we should of course care for our elderly, we should give a significant married tax break to young families who also need our help."
