In the olden days there was a marriage tax allowance. Now, you can only claim it if one partner does not use all their personal allowance and can pass 10% of it over to the higher earner as long as they are on the 20% (I think) tax rate
That's England, though. Not sure if it's the same north of the border.
The full allowance went a long time ago. My parents married on 4th April so they could get the full rebate for a year.

It also applied to having children. At least I know I was vaguely wanted as I was referred to as a tax refund baby, being again born as close to the end of the financial year as possible.

Having one parent as a tax specialist accountant does have side-effects :blink:

Today is my wedding anniversary.
The weather was the same as today, but with added lashing gales and hailstones battering the Registry Office window.
I don't have a marriage license

Happy anniversary

Happy Anniversary!

I've picked up a bug that isn't covid. Which at least means I can spend a bit of time on the sofa with a coffee catching up on this thread.
I should be getting a quote for solar panels this week. Still haven't heard back from the other two companies I approached apart from one "we're very busy it will take a day or two to call you back" email, three weeks ago.

In 1960 it was the same all over the UK but it was worth a whole year of the allowance if claimed at the end of the tax year. Not very romantic perhaps but practical.
 
Grey and blustery here chez Casa Reynard. It was raining earlier, but it's not now.

It's been an indoors kind of day. The girls are tucked up in their respective doughnut beds. I have made breadcrumbs with one of the packets of YS hot dog rolls that I bought the other day, and I have done some writing. After luncheon I do have to go out to drop off the parental unit's prescription and pop into the local agricultural engineering place for a gallon of chain saw oil. I'll see if they've got any rat traps while I'm there.

In other news I won an auction on the 'bay for one of the pieces of bling I was after. :smile: Auction ended stupid early in the morning, so put a bid on for what I was happy to pay before I went to bed. Turns out I was the only bidder, so got it for the reserve, which wasn't that much above the scrap value. Funny that, it's a locket that takes four photos, and those usually attract a bun fight. But it's also very plain in its design, and people do seem to want the ones with lots of elaborate engraving. Suits me, as I like my jewellery on the somewhat more understated side.

Anyways, it is almost time for luncheon.
