Married couples
A tax checklist for married couples
Five things to check each year.
- You're taxed jointly, unless you have a reason not to be.
- Your band and credits are split between jobs in line with your pay.
- You've compared the Home Carer Tax Credit with the second-income band.
- Each of you has claimed credits you're due: rent, medical expenses, flat rate expenses.
- Pension contributions use each spouse's relief limit.
Our joint assessment calculator compares the options for your incomes.
