  3. The higher rates of personal allowances are reduced by £1 for each £2 of excess income over £20,100 (2005/06 £19,500) until the basic allowance is reached. Similar limits apply to the married couple's allowance: the loss of tax reduction is 10p for each £2 of excess income until the minimum of £235 (2005/06 £228) is reached. (For couples married before 5 December 2014, only the husband's income is taken into account. For those married on or after 5 December 2014 or in a civil partnership, only the higher earner’s income is taken into account).
