United Kingdom

My friend has had a letter from the tax credits saying they want proof of her childcare costs, the thing is her baby doesn't go to childcare and hasn't for over a year and she rung the tax credits and told them this. But it seems they have been paying her for it still, in addition her P60 wages is about 6 grand more than what she advised them because her husband left her in the May so she had to go full time at work in order to be able to pay the bills, but she never told the tax credits (although they had taken into account her husbands wages which were no longer coming into the house) her husband didn't end up coming back until Christmas (because he missed the kids the pig)

So now she is panicking that they are going to send her to prison

Do you think if she offered to pay whatever she owes them back in a lump sum (she said she will get a loan if she has to) then the tax credits won['t send her to prison, as she is very very worried and hasn't been able to sleep :0(

the Americans are moaning that they pay outrages fuel prices. you don’t know how easy you have it.

uk v usa

in the uk you pay roughly 98p per liter
in the usa you pay roughly 3.29 per gallon

anyone see the difference?

well i'll do the math’s for you. in a us gallon there is approximately 3.785 liters. so in the uk, we would pay 3.71 GBP for the same amount of 'gas' which is 7.42 dollars

(98*3.785=3.71*2 (2 dollars to a GBP roughly)= 7.42

so next time your thinking about how hard you have it....... think about the Brits

Hi Guys/Gals,

My partner wants to bid on an item in the states on Ebay, however it mentions 6% sales tax to be added. Do we have to pay this, or is this just something buyers in the US would pay? A bit of googling seems to suggest this but want to confirm.

Can anyone help please.

Will be interesting to see how many, if any, 'sensible' answers to this one?
I have been paid a pension, net, in this tax year, 2007/8,.I have been issued PAYE code for 2007/8 but after the payment was made. Will I get the tax already deducted repaid by the pension provider or will I have to wait for a rebate from the dearly beloved tax man?

I have heard it said that if a person goes back to their home country for a 2 week period every six months that they are exempt from paying certain taxes for the purpose of sending remittance money home to family. Is this true and which tax is one exempt from paying? I am just trying to understand the structure of this system.

I left uk in April 18th last year to live abroad permantly. However I had to return end of following March ie before the tax year was up to take care of my son due to my ex partner not wanting custody of him anymore. Is there any leeway given by HMRC due to these circumstances or will I still be liable for tax as if I was still a uk resident?

I have been married to her for 3 years now, She has 3 kids, 18,13,10, not worked for about 15 years i believe. Am i being so wrong as to insist that she now gets a job? I was self employed a while back and so we got tax credits, when i started my new job earning okay money, the tax credits continued cos she 'forgot' to tell them.. Obviously its a year on now time to renew and I am not lying on no form. She uses the money to get the shopping each week as all my wages pays for the bills at end of month. So when the credits stop, and we start paying them back, we not going to have any money for shopping, so I am insisting that she goes back to work, but I am being unreasonable here? all i want is for her to go and do some bloody work! any ideas what she could do or if you think i am being unreasonable.???

How do you pay taxes if you are being paid by cash???

I’ve been working at petrol station for a month and they pay only by cash. I’ve asked them to pay me through a bank and provide proper payslips with tax codes and everything. But that is taking them 3 weeks now. I was promised to get paid weekly but I was just given £50 because my wages are being delayed. (£50 for the whole month that I’ve been working there) Everyone else is being paid by cash on time, but as far as I know that’s illegal because you don’t pay taxes that way. There fore my question is, if I agree to be paid by cash how do I pay taxes?
Thank you for any help

To solve an office query here, does the inheritance tax ceiling of £300k apply to the value of the 'estate' or to how much an individual receives? For example, if my estate were worth £400k and split between my son and daughter, would they be liable for the tax?
