AVB Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Indeed, child benefit (£25/week per child) is paid to everyone regardless of earnings. Child tax credit is what I refer to (as sated in my first line) and THINK the OP is also referring to. OP is referring to child benefit which from next year it won't be paid if you earn more than £60k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child tax credit is what I refer to (as stated in my first line) and THINK the OP is also referring to. Edit: Just reread Gixer's OP and I'm still not 100%, but, I am referring to tax credits. It's child benefit - up here it used to £20/week for the first child and £13/week for any further children. So someone earning over the threshold will be £132/month worse off on average. An the servants may have to get a pay cut Regards, Gixer Edited November 29, 2012 by gixer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boromir Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Did i say I was in that bracket??? NO! Therefore you should think before posting nugget... I just think its unfair that the harder working should get less that the people who sit on their backsides doing jack! And where did I mention work level in comparison to pay level?? Another assumption? ...thought so! Quite clearly you have a potato field on your shoulder...

Vince Green Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I am thinking about going abroad and importing some. Got to be easier than working. Thats actually not as hard as it seems. For some reason I have never been able to fathom, eastern europeans can claim for children still back in their home country. However, they turn up at the benefits office with a load of paperwork for the kids its all in Lithuanian or whatever. Nobody in the benefits office can understand what it says. So it just gets rubber stamped. People claim for their nephews and nieces. Then the claimant's brother (or mate) goes into a different benefits office and claims for the same kids all over again, because there is no cross checking, using the same paperwork. Then they go home and the money still gets paid into their bank account. We really are the most stupid country in the World, and thats their view of us too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolk turkey Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Britain must be the only country in the world to reward failure. I work with a polish block who has just got divorced and he moans all the time about having to pay his csa ford his 3 kids. He believes that the uk should pay for them.
