uncivil
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 | tags: form, HMRC |When submitting your Tax return in the UK it’s quite important for Her Majesties Revenue and Customs to know whether you are a same-sex couple or a hetero-sexual couple. Implying there is a difference in how these groups are treated legally. Marriages can include separation and can be followed by divorce, while civil partnerships are either civil or dissolved. If one person in a civil partnership dies is the remaining person a widow or widower? Why is the gender of the surviving partner important? Why doesn’t the list simply offer the gender-free option of ’Widowed’?
I became very confused quite early on, and things quickly degraded from here
