- artsrc 14y agoIn Australia married couples file their own tax separately. One income supports 5 people in my case, but I am taxed the same way as if that income supported one person. No system is perfect. The US system much better recognizes capacity to contribute taxation.
- vvhn 14y agoas is the case in india - everybody files taxes individually (and not as a family unit). Having moved to the US recently, it was quite a surprise to me that I was paying more in taxes per year than if I my wife and I were filing taxes individually as single people.
