Tax credits ARE being cut.......

[snufflepuff]

You are only entitled to Childcare elmement if you earn over 30k anyway.

Do you mean UNDER 30k?

It is a privelage to have this and it has helped many families, and i do mean the struggling ones!
I do agree there has to be something to sort out tax credits but it was given originally in place of married mans tax releif. And now is getting out of hand, but i also think it helps alot of people with our childcare , BUT as stipulated in my previous post "im not saying the government should pay" but it does help and i think in some cases it helps alot of us on here???
The whole countries in a mess BUT if last time is anything to go by, its always the hard working that are affected.
Im not asking for anything from them atall, im happy earning my own, but in that respect theyre more than happy to take take take off me.....do they need such high wages for thier jobs?? big houses? sell number 10 for a start haha that will raise abit o cash, dont use a limo t go see the queen, we could go on forever

I had a mum who got nearly all her childcare paid cos she was on a low wage. The newspapers said yesterday that it will be cut for those under £40k a year, they probably only get a nominal amount that really doesnt make a difference to them, but when added up will make a difference to the countrys budget. I feel more inclined to beleive that it would be that amount and not the £25k as reported in the Daily Mail.

Still not long to find out officially is it

thats a more realistic amount
