Someone on £40k is a net contributor of income tax. If and when they claim child benefit they are recovering a portion of the tax they have paid in. They certainly are not claiming any of your meagre tax contributions. 
 

Why should only those who do not contribute to income tax be allowed to benefit from it? Seems a very odd stance to take. 
 

Im sure you’ve mentioned before that you al least had a son?
 

 

Who’s claiming my meagre contributions then if it isn’t half the households in the UK?

 

I meant I don’t have children now that I claim for, and never did claim benefits for him in the UK. He was born and raised in Spain.

By the way trig, have you got that UK tax return yet, the one that shows what you pay into this economy?

Trig said he was waiting on it, not my words, his. I’d dare bet I pay more tax into this economy than he does.

Who's claiming some of your meagre contributions? You've answered that yourself Eggs. Its the 50% of households that are not contributing Income Tax. Its clearly not this supposed Skilled worker on £40k a year that we've been discussing. Do keep up old chap.

Patience there old man. 

 

And of course you'll have yours ready to compare, right? Surely you dont expect me to show you mine if you're no gonna show me yours?

Yep, my meagre amount will be paid this month. I’ll happily post it up here.

I doubt anyone here cares. Just PM it to me and I'll do likewise.

Why? Just post up your return, as you said you would, and I’ll post up mine to see how much UK tax we pay, after all I could screenshot yours a put it up here.

You'll have to quote the conversation. I dont remember it going quite like that.
