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!

I know!!!! We have a labour government now that says it all! I’m looking forward to reading some of these replies!!!!

Yes me too

I don’t want to see Victorian levels of poverty

Shouldn’t their parents be incentivised to break the cycle though? Force them into work if they aren’t. If you put money into excellent nursery/ wrap around car, the children will be well fed and it will help them get prepared for school and keep them warm. Isn’t that where the money should go?

Errrmmm don’t most people who have young children work part time???? Otherwise it’s full time care which costs a bomb!

Me neither , but the right wing with their domination and Nigel is god agenda are determined to plant in your head itsall terrible - they need these buggers out before it becomes very obvious to all that they can’t even run anything at council level or all the Russian funding comes out ( not that some people care, they just like the fact he’s a xenophobe, likes a pint ( actually he drinks wine) and speaks fluent populist bullshit -we are looking again at leaving and not due to labour or tax but due to the fact the population clearly believe Farages back of a fag packet crap - realised we don’t fit - I don’t like the other extreme either by the way and whilst I agree with Polanski on EU - I don’t on lots of other things and think they are a bit unreal

I'm not sure what your issue is. You have to pay tax. Maybe work on your understanding of tax because your dh doesn't pay anywhere near what you think he does.

We have 3 kids,dh earns less than yours . I'm self employed and earn twice what you do and pay more tax being based in Scotland. Neither of us came from anything either,we don't have wealthy family and every penny is hard earned just the same as it is for many families. Labour always raise taxes. I'm not sure why people are surprised.

I think you’re in no fit state to tell me what my husband pays and what he doesn’t. Because believe it or not we actually know how much tax he pays. This is the problem with you lot…. Think you know it all! Yet you don’t. FACT!

Ok so you come from nothing, do nothing, contribute nothing but get everything! Really!?!?!

You could start with the multiple ones pointing out how you’re wrong about the 60%.

Has your husband asked you to defend his taxation on the internet?

How bothered is he by it, since they’re his actual deductions.

The tax system is in the public domain

Yeah I agree!!!! The super rich are finding way around paying tax but we fall into the worst tax bracket and for two hard working people who have only decided to have 1 child and don’t expect anything from anyone. It’s just frustrating! We’re getting taxed from every angle at the moment.

I’m afraid what you think you know is wrong if you’re trying to assert that he pays 60% tax on the entire £100k.

But that is literally the UK income tax thresholds that people are quoting!

You know that most people on UC are in work right? It’s that wages are so poor that they need supplementing.

So you're saying that your husband is on a special secret tax rate that the rest of us don't know about?

Tax thresholds. For the curious/confused…

This is it…. With any bonus he gets it taxed!!!

You will literally moan about the cost of anything won't you? 😂

Taxes, childcare, only one holiday! How you [your husband] only survives on £100k is a miracle, you really the superheroes of society.

Actually the part of this budget that piss me off the most are the disincentives to save.

Specifically the new limit on NI relief for pension contributions. There are also increases in savings and dividend taxes. None affect me personally (retired) but I really hate people being penalised for saving, we should be heavily encouraging pension savings.

Hey. £110k, you forgot to add her £10k to his £100k.

The poster obviously think ‘us lot’ know nowt!

So you don’t want extra income by way of bonus taxed either ??

Begs belief

This. So many people blatantly don’t understand taxation. If OP’s husband is earning £100K, he’ll be paying £27,432 in tax, not £60,000. Huge difference!

My mistake!

Fgs, I pay more tax than you OP (not more than your husband though, so pass on my thanks to him) and cant believe the cheek you have. Ridiculous!
