Most people here don't declare a yearly income, it is more or less up to your employer to give details of your income..unless you are self employed.
Child allowance is a tax free payment for any parent..some take the view that it should be paid only after a long process of application forms for the less well off.. why don't we just put a big yellow star on the kids that some dipstick down the social security office deems they need the allowance?
