when did the married man's tax allowance end
Personal allowance Married Man's allowance was the allowance for a legally married couple. The allowance was given at the man's highest rate of tax. During the early 1990s the then Chancellor Norman Lamont overhauled the allowance and introduced the 10% allowance,[clarification needed] which meant that all men had the same amount of money in their pocket,[clarification needed] irrespective of highest tax rate. The allowance was scrapped from April 2000, first being announced in Gordon Brown's 1999 budget,[8][9][10] with the exception of people married or in civil partnerships where one spouse was born before 6 April 1935.
