Abstract
You and your spouse or civil partner are each taxed separately on all of your income and capital gains. You each have a single person’s relief and income tax rates (5.0.1) and a full capital gains tax annual exemption of £10,600 for 2012–13 (20.5). Up to 5 April 2000, married couple’s allowance (3.2.1) amounting to £1,970 for 1999–2000 was available for those under 65, but an income-tested higher married couple’s allowance was available to those entitled to age allowance (3.2.7). The rate of relief became 10 per cent for 1999–2000. From 6 April 2000, the relief was generally withdrawn, but has remained available at the higher rate (3.2.1) where at least one party to the marriage was born before 6 April 1935.
