Perhaps you should try to be grateful for other people going to work to pay tax so that child tax credits are available to you in the first place.
That's a bit unreasonable, imho. Most people claiming CTC and/or WTC are paying taxes. It's a tax rebate, returning the taxes they have paid out of their earnings back to them - their own money, in other words.0 -

It really isn't you know, 'Tax Credits' is just benefits with a different name. Much like Lisa Simpsons 'Temporary refund adjustment' which was actually just a tax.
This is why many people claim tax credits many multiples higher than the tax they actually pay. And think about it - if it was just a PAYE tax - wouldn't they just change your tax code rather than administer an expensive payments system separately?0 -

What rubbish, your post is the way that middle class benefit claimants "sanitise" tax credit payments because they dont want to be thought of as benefit claimants but tax credits ARE BENEFITS!0 -

lets just hope you never have a serious illness and lose your job, majority of people who are on benefits are genuinly ill.
these forums are here to advise not to rant about people who are on benefits are below me as i work and pay taxes etc.
Pls be nice to all MoneySavers. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.
