The poster's income is an aggregate. Income taxed under his wife may enjoy certain breaks relating to children etc.

One can also increase tax efficiency by structuring your compensation arrangement with your employer. If you "work" for your boss as your own company, you can also reduce your tax burden.

Unregistered That's not too bad given your annual earning. You should factor that into your expenses though. Its almost 10% of monthly income which is a large portion of expense.
