Hello @debbieroberts and welcome to the community.

Depending on what your partner is earning this may be correct. I would suggest ringing the scope helpline to discuss your situation as they may be able to offer some suggestions.

If you are married or in a civil partnership you may be able ask for part of your personal tax allowance to be transferred to your partner, who will pay less in taxes.
