but a couple where one earns £101k and the other £20k would lose out
Oh damn, that sucks. In Australia most (at least) of these types of things have a separate threshold for couples where it’s based on the total income of the couple, not the higher partner’s income, preventing that kind of situation.
I believe we have it for tax allowance, where say if your partner doesn’t work, you can add their tax free allowance to yours. I think that’s it though.
