Income splitting is the notion that spouses will be treated as one unit for taxation purposes. Their combined income is taxed as one unit. If one spouse does not work then the other spouse enjoys a significant taxation advantage.
Income splitting was seriously considered in Canada some years ago. Canadian feminists strongly discouraged this as they believed it would reduce women's workforce participation. [1]
