Income splitting

Income splitting is a tax strategy of transferring earned and passive income of one spouse to the other spouse for the purposes of assessing personal income tax (i.e. "splitting" away the income of the greater earner, reducing his/her income for tax measurement purposes), thus reducing the tax paid by the spouse who earns more and increasing the tax paid by the spouse who earns less, with the goal of reducing the overall tax liability of the family.
