TBH the main reason people need these tax credits is because we are all taxed too much anyway


This is one basic premis that really confuses me ( easy I know) -- but ... why the hell do the benefits people say you need, say, £200 per week to live on, yet they tax you at £150 --- then pay another department to pay some back in benefits because you actually needed that amount in the first place!!!

Wouldn't it be far better ( and cheaper) to decide an across the board amount (obviously adjustable for individual circs) required as a minimum and not tax you below that figure, just to have to give it back !!!???

Does that lot make sense, or am I just jabbering again ??

Seemples - Socialist government,therefore it is consistent with their beliefs that they take your money off you and then decide how they will redistribute it. Wink

Child tax credits are another messy one, but they can get rather large values.


There is a big advantage if you can claim both working tax credit and child tax credit....you get free nhs prescriptions. Just working tax credit doesnt get it.
Useful if your on permanent medication.


Wish I could have swung that -- but I am too rich ( so they say!).  That's ANOTHER thing I don't understand .... why do some permanent medication requiring illness's (diabetics, epileptics, and a few others ) get them free whilst others who need regular drugs for the rest of their lives ( cardio vascular disorders, chronic pain, etc) don't. ???

I think that living in the UK but not in England is also on the list ,just after epilectics. Thumbs Up! Cheesy Angry
