He has children from a previous marriage that he pays for.What he earns covers his bills & there is nothing spare.

I get a new car every 4 years but if i had the choice i would prefer not to have a company car but not a option.

Poet 123 dont be so aggresive & smile it may improve your mood.

I am always smiling;) but it was the obvious comment, he either earns what you state or he earns more and he should be paying tax on it, regardless of where that income goes. We would all rather not pay tax, but unfortunately that is not an option, and then to compound that you are moaning about the tax you pay.

That is something that does indeed make me smile.:T

How much does he pay out in maintenance?

I still don't understand why he earns X amount on paper, but in reality he earns more.

You definitely wouldn't be entitled to WTC and I doubt you would even be entitled to CTC, unless you were to say your husband earns what is shown 'on paper'.

To mind your own 2 children...

Once your youngest is 3 you will be entitled to the free 12.5 (or is it now 15?) hrs of childcare so that would help a little.

it's 15 hours per week.

I am well aware of where the tax credits come from & I am also aware that alot of people sit on there !!! all day or just mange to work a few hours in order to get as much as possible from the state.

And there are even people who are self employed who fiddle the figures to make it look as if they earn less than they actually do!

Shellsuit, when you take away the overheads from being a private hire driver in terms of radio settle, insurance & taxi plate which are all seen as taxable deductions in order to work & children from another marriage there isnt anything else.

My orginal post asked would I get any tax credits or help towards nursery given my current situation.
From the people who have posted helpful responses many thanks as for the less helpful responses many thanks.:T

That's what someone asked you before though, if those are tax deductable and after that he really does earn £3500 a year, is it really worth it?

He would be better coming out of work and having the children.

Childcare - £172 a week
Husbands wage - £67.30 a week

It's a no brainer really.

Can't see £67 stretching far on bills and maintenance though.

Theres a little word called self respect & my partner would not want to stay at home every day.
Many thanks for the advice.

Well you can't expect help then if you won't help yourself.

He wouldn't just be staying at home all day - he'd be bringing up his children.. Are you saying there is no respect for SAHP who bring up their own children?? I tend to disagree.

You need to make decisions that make financial sense for you - if you really can not afford the childcare fees what other options do you have?
