Income ceilings and rates applicable to year 2007 income (2008 tax)
Do you know what the allowence is for these brackets before you have to pay tax ?
Is there a difference allowence for each person or a married couples allowence?
If I wasnt working and my hubby was can he use my allowence ?
Are the allowences the same for self employed ?
For some one working in different countries , but paid by UK American and european companies
The scales shown represent those for a single person with no children. married couples get twice the amounts and another 50% OF THE SINGLE SCALE FOR EACH ELIGIBLE CHILD. Other allowances exist in respect of persons of a certain age etc.

Thanks. Starting to make sense. What tax free allowance would a married man with no other dependents receive? I assume that the system is the same in France as the UK-ie you get a tax free allowance till the lower rate of tax (5.5%?) kicks in and then you move steadily upwards.

We get fours parts allowance, one for hubby, one for me, one for first child, then half each for our other two children.

Here's a very simplified explanation of how the French tax system works.
You enter your income in the various parts of the tax form.
Certain income is subject to an initial allowance (eg, UK pension income qualifies for a 10% allowance off the top) which is deducted from your global income to leave your taxable income - this is your revenu fiscal de reference.
The remaining income is divided by the number of 'parts' in your tax household - one part for husband, one part for wife, one part for first child, half parts for additional children and people having certain benefits like invalidity entitlement, etc.
Each 'part' is then assessed according to Clair's tax bands. Once the calculation is complete, the tax for each 'part' is added together to make the total tax payable.
Net effect is if the husband is the sole earner - a proportion his income is alloted to the other 'parts' of his tax household, so more of this shared income falls within their lower tax bands.
- vivant seule(e) et ayant élevé un ou plusieurs enfants; - ou titulaire d'une carte d'invalidité; - ou titulaire d'une pension d'invalidité ou d'accident du travail d'au moins 40% - ou ayant perdu un enfant d'au moins 16 ans ou à la suite de faits de guerre - ou âgé(e) de plus de 75 ans et titulaire de la carte du combattant ou d'une pension d'invalidité de guerre
- ne vivant pas en concubinage - vivant en concubinage
