Win!
Yes, I pay less tax thanks to splitting my income with my wife. A *lot* less tax - people who aren't doing this would be shocked at how little tax I pay, and I even get free NHS prescriptions to boot.
Technically we are both 50% shareholders and both deserve 50% of the dividends. We both take the same risks in the business, after all. The law was profoundly unfair (according to we who stood to lose because of it!) Glad that the Tories will be in before Darling can execute, which means it won't happen until the next Labour government, around 2020 or so.
Posting anon in case this is prima facie evidence of intent for when they do finally bring the law in. Oh, and because this is going to seriously piss off anyone who's a basic employee. To those people I say this: quit, and become a contractor.
