'Reward couples for marriage milestones'

Printer-friendly version

Sir Paul Coleridge, founder of the Marriage Foundation and a former high court judge, has suggested that couples should receive increasing tax-breaks at 'marriage milestones' to encourage them to stick together.

"Increasing the tax allowance at five years, 10 years and so on would do two things – it would make clear staying together does not cost the state a penny while splitting up does and it would send a message to couples to stay together," he said.
