Tories will be just as reluctant to forsake any real tax it can grab just like then present bunch. I very very much doubt the return of the married couples allowance as it used to be. Clever of Tories to plant the notion in the minds of voters, though.0

Tax credits are based on the previous years income so could it be their income last year was lower?0

Like I said, I put our details into 'entitledto' as though my husbad was 25, and it still said we were entitled to nothing.
As for previous years income, it is the same as this year. We all work at the same place, my friends income is slightly higher than mine.My Wins: £150 Next giftcard.
