We analyze the breaking of U-spin on a group theoretical basis. Because of the simple behavior of the weak effective Hamiltonian under U-spin and the unique structure of the breaking terms such a group theoretical analysis leads to a manageable number of parameters. Several applications are discussed, including the decays B{yields}J/{psi}K and B{yields}DK.
