The OBR are to blame but what a shambles. That’s on top of the Government running various possible Budget policies up the flagpole and down again for weeks beforehand. But as usual, it’s the workers’ taxes subsidising the idle. Freezing tax allowances for even more years is increased taxation whichever way you look at it and a breach of their manifesto promise not to increase income tax. I don’t get this Two Child limit thing either. It was introduced in April 2017 and children born in that year are now 8. Why have people gone on banging out kids they can’t afford for 8 years? It’s morally irresponsible as well as financially irresponsible to bring kids into the world that you can’t give a reasonable standard of living. I can see there’s an issue with new families coming together with multiple kids when both parties have previously been divorced. The simple answer to that is to allow both parents to claim for two children they have custody of. That would allow 4 children to be supported in newly combined family units.
I've always wondered what happens when having twins to total three children in total....one gets an allowance the other doesn't....doesn't sound fair.
