Those are two separate issues, whether they are nonsense is a matter for debate. However the purpose of this board is to help people, not to discuss policy.

Yeah ofcourse. I just wanted to know whether it is possible for someone to exploit this and claim. I dont have children so this does not apply to me. I wanted to understand the rules.

Not sure it's exploitation.  It's simply organising your income in line with tax legislation.

If the government wanted to increase the take from HICBC they could alter the rules so adjusted net income wasn't the key factor.

Or change the rules for calculating adjusted net income.
