Tax Benefits for Married Couples?
Does anyone know of what benefits married couples get? I tried the Inland Revenue website and it's a pile of cack (not the benefits but the website)!

Married couples can give each other financial assets of any size without having to worry about getting hit for any capital gains tax.

A spouse can inherit an estate of any value from the partner to whom they are (or rather, were) married without incurring any inheritance tax (as long as both are domiciled in the UK).

It's the Working Family Tax Credit now - you can claim back tax you've already paid if you have kiddies - married or not.
