Do you pay different tax if you are married ?

No. Tax has been calculated individually for a long time. You may now earn enough to start paying tax but it will be the amount you earn above the threshold that is taxed, the rest will stay the same.

Also, if you move up to another tax bracket and you received benefits of any kinds you might not be entitled to them. Housing benefit, tax credits, assistance with childcare costs and child allowance are the ones the spring to mind.

I think the OP was saying that they're moving from paying no tax to paying tax at 20% rather than going from 20% to 40%.
