child allowance

[Lilly]

The people who get the thick end of the wedge...........Working Taxpayer.?

I was talking about people like Tin Monkey who don't get child benefit or any other help.

There's a group of people who are not yet pensioners so don't get any of the allowances that pensioners get but who don't have young / any children so don't get allowances there either....in fact they get sod all so I can understand their frustrations over things like this.

I'm not really complaining in my case, as I earn a decent wage and I'm not exactly struggling to get by. However, there are loads of people out there who are finding the increasing cost of living hard to cope with, but don't qualify for any kind of help.

I wouldn't mind some kind of payback, however, as I pay loads out in income tax every month!

Don't expect payback on pensions or NI......The Government spend that as they go along, and on people who dont contribute.

I think you'll find that I was referring to Tin Monkey

But that's the way it's always worked. When it comes time for me to draw my pension, will there be any pot for me to dip in to? (And I know the answer to that already).

To quote the poet "Oh to be in England".......not a chance in hell.
Good luck.

another attempt to buy the poor persons vote ,what shoudl happen is that the government should drag the likes of british gas over the coals and if needed force them to reduce fuel costs because i am %100 sure british gas's only excuse and only genuine excuse for continualy raising fuel prices is that the fat cats at the top want more money

oil prices may well have gone up but briish gas especialy has been hiking the prices up for years when not needed and could easily afford to absorb some of the rise in fuel costs but that would mean making a few less millions each day so thay wont

That’s what should be happening. Sadly our Government has no balls. The French have done it and we may end up subsidising them.

Britons face bigger bills as French Government caps energy prices

What allowances ? Should be getting a tax personal allowance before tax of £9030 (at 65)... they now telling me has dropped to £4954 !! (taxed now @ 20% over this amount .. thanks Gordon) am totally confused, as this tax debt was supposedly being collected by my last employer last year.. still on a bloody K code .. will have to ring them tomorrow as now making life difficult for me .. will have to go back to some work. Know they will be correct, but just do not get it !!

Get the Council Tax 25% .. as other people living alone, and the fuel allowance/bus pass .. that is it !

Sorry to sound off ... just every time I sort things out, summat else comes along.

There will never be a system that suits all unfortunatley.

[cherokee]

Well This is just a way for GB to scrape back a few votes. Well not mine im affraid ...

This plonker has made far to many cock ups to get my vote no matter how much he offers in backhanders ,

If the public has any sense grab whats on offer while its there for the taking then get shut of the clown that put it on the plate before he finds a way to snatch it from under your nose...

The tax allowance for the whole year in which you attain age 65
(this tax yr) is tax allowance 9030

It took me a bit of hassle to get it - you need to phone them to remind them how old you are

 

[cashman]

Be better if they paid it straight to the gas or elec company, just more beer/drug money for some isn't it

that would have been easy to arrange if it had not been sold off by you know who, think now the logistics of it would be difficult?

Yes, they know that Margaret, but there is a 'however' on my new coding, and this tax code has been sent to the company responsible for my very 'small private' pension which doesn't even match the amount they are talking about.

We have paid in blood sweat and tears for that allowance....what say you?

The firm who are paying your company pension will need a notification direct from your tax office - I had to ring 3 times and they sent 3, before I eventually got a refund.

PS you finish up with a peculiar tax code because they reduce it by your retirement pension.

Understand this, but they are saying still owe this debt of £815 which they said that last year and adjusted my code then to cover it to my Employers, but now saying I still owe it !! Ah well, will speak to them tomorrow to get an explanation... do understand Income Tax, but this one got me baffled, probably looking at it more closely as my income now reduced drastically

Sorry folks to be self-indulgent with my problem.

Don't understand this new allowance on the child benefit either ...

 

[Loz]

So people on child benefit and oaps will get a fuel allowance?
Fair enough,not got a problem with that but what about the rest of us?
Just because we work we don't earn massive amounts,we don't get any help with anything and our gas bill has just tripled so we can't afford it!
God knows what it will be like in winter,its scarey!
We have already turned the boiler off to try and save some money and are investing in some wooley jumpers and thick duvets for winter.
I don't think this has been thought through properly,just another empty gesture from GB to try and save his political life.

Don't worry cherokee he's already thieved it of you before he gives it back, he's been taking £5 billion a year out of private pension schemes for 11 years now, I have a friend who projected pension is now £60 a week less that it was 12 years ago, and due to the 10p tax fiasco is taxed on it as well
