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!

This.

Mad thread.

Do you want it to be?

I don't tend to troll post on serious subjects such as how much I'm set to be robbed this winter.

Agree

@ledmeup sarcasm dear

@Damnd forgive me for not being able to tell on this thread!

You mean someone will be able to buy their own house instead of having to rent at an extortionate rate?
Dreadful news...

(But I expect you are only a landlord out of the goodness of your heart and are not in it to make money?)

Nope! Just a person who is happy to pay my taxes, and realise I am more fortunate than some but not as much as others and dont come on here to moan that my husbands taxes (not even hers!) are being pooled to help those less fortunate.

I think its hilarious that someone working part time has the cheek to complain about others not pulling their weight. Some people dont know their own privilege.

@Damnd people do actually think like that

Can I give you my bank details and you promise to put £3,500 a month there so I can give up work to look after my children? (That’s how much I need to earn to cover mortgage + food + bills). Working is so overrated, it’s so much easier if other people pay for it.

It’s not anything over 100k, it’s earnings between 100,000-125,140, because that’s the band where the personal allowance gradually tapers off. After that it’s 45%.

If successive governments made more of an effort to close the tax gap we would all be better off

Oh shut up!

I thought if someone had 3 children they would get an extra £292 per month in universal credit for the 3rd child in UC from April next year.

There was a woman interviewed on Radio 4 last night who said her husband was a lorry driver who earned well and if it wasn’t for him having to pay tax she wouldn’t have to work herself. I wanted to ask whether she also only ever used a private GP, hospital and education providers …

I think that’s just the kind of mindset people get themselves into. Everything should be better but I don’t want to pay a penny more in tax for it.

Anyway your first priority is to get your husband’s tax sorted as he’ll get a nice big rebate on the 60% you say he’s been paying.

Mumsnet is full of middle class communists

She is being sarcastic...

The greed of some posters makes my skin crawl

The "system" paid for my education, it paid for my parents education, it is currently supporting my grandparents. It saved my fathers life just 3 years ago and my own as a baby.

I am damn well sure happy to contribute to it however I can.

"what about benefit cheats"
I don't give a fuck - If I am supporting 10000 "frauds" so be it because I would NEVER want to live in a place where there is nothing to catch you when you fall.

Housing sbd childcare were going up way before Labour came in, and yes they are absolutely the number 1 reason of low birth rates.

And they are absolutely within their right to moan about it.

Shame on you for using that analogy

Excuse me?

@SanctusInDistress that’s the point I was making…

Blame whoever voted!

"I'd be better off on benefits"

Quit your job then, off you go - see how much "better off" you are.

You won't because you know it is absolute nonsense.
