Very strongly agree

Yes, income splitting provides tax fairness

The Conservative party has argued that income splitting provides tax fairness for families, as it allows families to distribute their income in a way that reduces their overall tax burden. This was one of the main reasons for introducing the Family Tax Cut in 2014.

Yes, but cap the maximum benefit at $2k

The Conservative party might be open to the idea of capping the maximum benefit of income splitting at $2k, as it could address some concerns about the policy's fairness. However, there is no specific historical example of the party advocating for such a cap, so the score is not as high as for other answers.
