Shared partnership - percentage question

Hello, 

My wife & I are shared lives carers. It’s very similar to fostering, but instead of children, it’s vulnerable adults.
Every year, we do a self assessment as a partnership and do it as 50% share each.
This year, due to various reasons, if I stated my share was 80% and hers 20%, we would save some money.
truth be told, we don’t have a share, it just goes into our shared account and gets spent on all the bills! I am just wondering if on our next assessment if it was as easy as just putting the new share I suggested, or is it more complex than that?
thanks for any replies I get!
