If I am already paying a higher rate of income tax and NI contributions on all my earnings why should I be penalised for saving for my future because I earn more?
Already contributing more in reflection of a salary, which is fair enough, but why penalise people even more?

EARNING MONEY IS EVIL

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 12:57, Reply)

that would not be penalising you.
It would be fairer redistribution of government expenditure. You get double the extra payments to your pension than basic rate payers do, which is basic rate payers being penalised, not you.

Are you a Tory or something? You certainly are pompous enough.

It's not being penalised, you're just not being helped.
If you want lower NI and income tax you need to cut the spending that to be honest, isn't necessary.

You have no idea what I earn.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:03, Reply)

and you seem to have no idea about how personal taxation works.
You only pay tax on all your earnings if you have lost your personal allowance. It is reduced by 50p for every pound you earn over 100 grand. So unless you earn substantially more than that, you don't pay tax on all your earnings.

What's the view likee from that high horse?

Doesn't it automatically get paid to Mrs Battered?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:30, Reply)

I think you have to claim it.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:31, Reply)

You do, yeah.
It's not an automatic benefit, you still have to fill in a form and provide proof of birth.

Not sure. I think that's only if she has submitted the forms for it, which I would have had to sign and I never have.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:31, Reply)

My mistake - you do need to claim
She shouldn't need your signature though. Or is that a personal arrangement?
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:34, Reply)

I think it is because we are married and benefits are based on total household income.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:35, Reply)

Child benefit isn't.
It is a universal benefit.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:37, Reply)

Ah. I didn't know this. Not entitled to it anyway I think.
As the BBC website budget report says "The salary threshold at which child benefit stops being paid will be set at £50,000"
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:38, Reply)

It's stopped fully at £60k,
1% reduction per £100 over £50k
(PsychoChomp, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:41, Reply)

indeed.
Quite right too.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:42, Reply)

I thought they'd changed it
so that you don't get it if one parent earned over £40k?
(berk, Wed 21 Mar 2012, 13:46, Reply)

That was just the rumour
confirmation is it's £50k-£60k
