HMRC - Child tax benefit charge

[Wayne The Punk]

You thought humans had a food stomach and a drink stomach until a few years ago.

I am sure I do

 

[TheWanderer]

Look at me I earn over £50k. Pathetic.

Believe me, I haven’t got a pot to piss in! I’m a pauper compared to most on here.

Do it online yourself via Government Gateway (Personal Tax Account), twisty.

I'm not set up for that on Government Gateway. How many millions of steps is it to set that up?

Sue Pringle easy.

Edit: wow, that was an odd autocorrect. Meant ‘surprisingly easy’.

Your personal tax account.

It's been a while since I set mine up but I don't remember it being too painful.

We'll see how Sue Pringle easy it is.


How easy is Sue Pringle?

She always seemed a canny lass but I never had her down as wearing knickers to keep her ankles warm.

The people in charge of HMRC's tax policy would not be able to count up how many stomachs that is

I watched one of those Parliamentary Select Committee things a few years back, when they were grilling the big accountancy firms about the tax avoidance schemes they were coming up with for their clients. Turned out one of the blokes who was instrumental in formulating the schemes had been assisting the government in writing their tax policy! Must have been laughing his cap off when planning loopholes to exploit!

It is so easy that even someone like @TheWanderer could probably, well, possibly, do it.

So Sue Pringle is easy, but not Easy Like Sunday Morning

40% income tax and previously universal benefits withdrawn, well done for getting on and making something of yourself.

People earning next to nothing pay about 32 percent so.

 

[TheManFromSunderland]

So I get a letter today to say I may have to pay a child tax benefit charge!!!

How the fuck can various government depertments be so disjointed? One give me money, the other fucker wants to take some of it back in tax...why cant they just decide not to give me as much child benefit in the first place, cut down on admin and cost?

Oh, and another thing why cant they make forms and instructions easy to understand, I'm not a daft bloke, but its a struggle to understand any of the instructions!

f***ing *****, rant over, had to get it off my fat titted chest!

This happened to me...........the sh*ts

 

[AndrewP]

This happened to me...........the sh*ts

Look at me....

Pathetic

Not on all of it tho Andy

 

[Captain Slackbladder]

I ended up paying some back.

Made the fatal error of doing well at my job and getting a couple of decent annual salary increases.

 

[AndrewP]

Not on all of it tho Andy

That's true. That's also true for the wealthy 40 percenters though.

As an aside it’s an absolutely ridiculous tax. A couple could earn 60k and not be entitled to any child benefit if only one of them earns the 60k but on the other hand a couple could earn, say 90k, each of them 45k each, and be entitled to the full child benefit

You're right. £60k combined should be enough. Nobody asked them to have kids.
