Hoorah David Cameron has at last conceded to give the promised tax break for married couples. But you'll not get it until tax year 2015/16. In time for the election ?
Maybe he thinks he needs a few more votes.
Good though and why shouldn't the government favour marriage, a contract has to mean something . Otherwise why bother ?

Marriage tax break at last
Saturday, 8 December 2012
Autumn Budget
Great that Osborne is to raise personal allowances but.
What about married couples?
£9244 allowance great but what about couples? My wife doesn't work but why can't I have her unused allowance? Nearly £20k before we pay tax great. Yes she could work but if she doesn't gives a job to someone else. Why can't we benefit? Surely one worker per household is better than none. The saving is in benefits.
It does seem bad that Tax allowances are lost lie this. It can't cost much in the big scheme of things but also what about families, the person staying at home to look after children. Much better than farming them out.
