Made in heaven; taxed on earth

Article Abstract:

Careful consideration needs to be given to the tax planning strategies of married couples that have separated or divorced. In a tax reform proposed by the British Government, all taxpayers would be given a single allowance on their income tax; all married couples would be given two allowances. The reforms also attempt to recognize women as being responsible taxpayers in their own right. It is unlikely, however, that any of these reforms will be enacted before 1990. In the meantime, couples will continue to be treated as separate individuals from the date of separation for income tax and capital tax purposes. The current tax laws regarding maintenance payments and the division of property are also discussed.
