You may have heard that the @UKLabour Labour Party plans to scrap the Married Couple's Tax Allowance if they get into power. Attack ads are being shared on Facebook by the Conservative Party arguing that people will be worse off because of this. Here are the facts:
Maximum tax allowance available through the Married Couple's Tax Allowance is £250 a year. BUT…
Every Married Couple will be BETTER OFF under @UKLabour Labour - because: - and here are just five of the ways:
1. People on the #MinimumWage wage will get a minimum of £3,400 more a year,

2. The average parent of a two year old not currently eligible for #childcare support will save over £5,000 a year in free childcare and be able to work more too,

3. Parents with children aged 2-4 who only get 15 hours #childcare now will get 30 hours, worth over £2,500 a year,

4. The Labour energy policy which includes #retrofit and #nationalisation will give the average household £417 a year back on their energy bills. This will eradicate the vast amount of #fuelpoverty.

5. And #Commuters are expected to save on average £1000 a year when #seasonticket prices are reduced from Jan 2020:

So that's loads more on the plus side if you are a commuter, parent, or if you live in a home... #MarriageCouplesTaxAllowance
...and that's not including all the other benefits such as investing in #health, #socialcare and local services, plus the @UKLabour #GreenIndustrialRevolution policy and its plan to invest in sustainable jobs across the country. So...
If you want to find out how much tax you will actually pay if a @UKLabour Government is returned on 12th December, use the calculator. It's better than relying on Tory party attack ads. #VoteLabour #GE19
