Does married status always reduce tax?

Not always. Outcomes depend on whether unused credits and bands can be allocated, the second income level, and the chosen assessment method.

What is the key thing to validate in a married scenario?

Check how credits and the standard rate cut-off point are allocated between spouses. Small changes can shift income between 20% and 40% bands.

Should I use the joint assessment simulator?

Yes if you are comparing joint vs separate assessment. The simulator helps explain credit and band sharing scenarios.
