Child Benefit

The Tories are going to axe CB if one parent earns over £44000.

If both parents work and earn £40000 each they will still keep it!:eek:

obviously one idea is tory the other is liberal - they decided to keep both ideas:laughing:

its not a laughing matter really - I can see why they'd stop CB for higher earners but surely they need to do it on household income or are they going to start re-assessing other 'benefits' based on both lots of parents being able to claim.

Apparently the workings out on both parents "would cost too much to implement".:rolleyes:

Not funny but did make me :laughing:


It does make sense for higher earners BUT there needs to be a logical system in place... but knowing this country we wont get one :rolleyes:

i reckon they are probably the families that are earning that amount as are their partners so they thought..."we arent missing out on this"

This country is run by a bunch of muppets.
That's all I've got to say.

Total madness! But then you could get into a situation where your pay was 'just over' the threshold and you would lose out on CB BUT if you took a pay-cut then you would qualify.

Only employers would be loving this, some people would not want a small pay rise that would tip them over the 'edge' and they could potentialy lose £££s of pounds :( And what if your circumstances change? Is that too much 'paperwork' for them?

Not been thought through properly.

Oh yes, and in the meantime the banks wants billions £££s to be bailed out again :angry: Very simple stop giving yourselves HUGE bonuses!!!

Can you not tell that I hate bankers :censored:

Ripeberry hit the nail on the head by saying it's not been thought through properly.
That's the problem with this country. The muppets have these fantastic ideas. But no-one really sits down and thinks about how it will work in real life.
Reckon the government are slipping into panic mode.
My cat could do a better job.
