Tax TAx TAX!!!!!! Fuming at our government!

[Baldylovingbeard]

please try and convince me otherwise…..

What a joke this government are!!! ( UK)

Let’s just tax everyone who earns a bit of cash!!! Oh and while we’re at it… go on have loads more children it’s ok others will pay for them!!! Cutting the 2child benefit cap! If you decide to have multiple children you should be able to afford to provide for them. NOT expect others too!!!!! If you fall on hard times and you’ve worked and contributed to paying tax than you are within your rights to claim tax this is what benefits were made for, it’s not a means to not work, have more kids….etc!

Oh and if you work really hard and want to put some money by for you later days in life…. You’ll be taxed!

My situation:
Part time work, full time mum to 1 child. I work for myself and earn around 10k this money usually pays for things our daughter needs… clothes, clubs, any treats.
Husband works long hours, his under a lot of stress with his job, he has worked his way to and earns a very good salary 100k he gets taxed 60% you do the maths on that! We live in a 3 bed around £280k so nothing crazy but live within our means. We have one car! One holiday a year! Put money into savings! Pension! our daughter goes to one after school club. My husband got kicked out of home at 16…. He has worked with no help from family or friends and I believe he has worked very hard to get to where he is now. we are generous with charity’s and try our best to help out when we can if we can!

Same here.

It's more a question of why should anyone invest in anything or work anymore? Everything you do is taxed. Even if you stopped working and lived exclusively on unearned income, ie stocks and shares dividends, you still have to pay council tax while living in your own freehold house.

I'm very tempted to not sign in to work tomorrow. I've grafted for as long as I've been old enough to work. Now I want to give up.

🙄

The audacity of you complaining about tax you don’t even pay.

I’ve got a long day at work headache, a disabled child in the room next door yelling at Toy Story, and still don’t mind paying my higher rate tax to ensure people can eat and you know, survive.

Get a grip.

You are being ridiculous. She is working PT and looking after a child in what sounds like a stable situation, where they can afford that child. Pity more people can’t do the same.

You’re wrong OP - benefits are not for people that have fallen on hard times. My husband lost his job and was out of work for a year. We were not eligible for benefits other than job seekers @ £90 a week due to savings and once that was gone we could have £1200 a month, and only that because we owned our own home (mortgaged). Our mortgage is £1100 a month.

meanwhile the scroungers down the pub every day are having a great time…

most stressful time of our lives

the joke is we have both paid tax since we were 18! Always worked. Only got 2 kids, private pensions, on the property ladder, do everything right.

Yep. Family two streets away…child lives with dad, mum AWOL (we understand prison). He does not work. The poor DD has ill-fitting clothes and the first thing she does when she heads into the local primary first thing in the morning is get breakfast from the office lady because she doesn’t get it at home. However, dad’s house smells of weed day in day out.

It's like talking to my mother.

She's ranting about immigrants and "them dirty muslins" (deliberate spelling) where most women will be attacked by someone they know or family.

Or my cousin who refused to pay his ex wife any money to care for their 4 dc, because of the "nails" etc - i don't even think she wore nails varnish, or make up. But that was his shifty lazy argument. He's a cunt though.

I thought that too but only for those who work which I agree with.

In the same way you trust me not to spend my child benefit (not this benefit that was lifted, the usual one) on crack, you’re going to have to extend the principle of trust. Yes there’s gonna be some that abuse it, but is what it is.

which is why a state run early years provision is a far far better outcome for all. But the government seem to be adverse to long term thinking

Why wouldn’t you expect to pay council tax?

to get your rubbish taken away etc etc

Then this is a safeguarding failure of the school rather than the principe of overturning the benefit cap

Scrapping the two child limit = children coming out of poverty.

Children are the future of this country and should not be punished and forced to live in poverty.

END OF .

Do it! Then come back in a year and tell us how it's going.

Imagine going AWOL from work because you don’t like the government’s budget. Imagine.

Melodramaaaa.

Oops! Apologies, double post

I don't agree with uncapping child benefit. It could have been capped at 3, but why should taxpayers pay for people to have big families with no limit? What happens to those children when the cap is eventually reintroduced by successive government?

Honestly! Calm down it’s not the end of the world … we put up with the poxy corrupt tories for all that time

It will become entrenched and unpopular to roll back like that blasted triple lock

Good point!
Not many greengrocers can work from home for ten hours a week.

OP, your husband's net salary should be around £68,000 pa. Not bad, you'll manage. I expect you get fruit and veg for nothing.

I believe local authorities these days are responsible for care for the elderly too if they don’t have decent assets - that’s a real biggie and something I think does need looking at - my view on this is 2p insurance care tax on everyone over 40 , only first £80,000 of assets can be taken , after that it’s covered off and counts for both care homes and care at home . I haven’t costed it but in theory I think it makes sense- so many elderly people don’t get care they need or make poor decisions because they are frightened of ‘not leaving anything’ or burning through their cash - it would also in my opinion stop a lot of dodgy practice trying to avoid paying out

Oh well more children being removed from their parents due to increased drug misuse. Maybe it’s better for the kids after all then - in some twisted way. Perhaps not what supporters of removing the cap envisaged. Social workers - get your engines revving.

in the same boat here

Completely stand by my comments.
