How is it possible people who work don’t have enough money for their children? Its a modern day crime, higher and fairer taxes.
What, like Spain?
No not like Spain like Sweden or Denmark where they have a higher limit on taxation and they fully fund their NHS, transport and education.
Earn more from the person pay more tax.
We have a halfway house of medium tax and distinctly medium services ie NHS, transport and education.
You only have to see what we think of our elderly to see its a race to the bottom In this Country, it will be our turn soon enough to sit in that chair alone with a person uninspired on a minimum wage cleaning up after us, pay more and everybody gets more.

I would like to know how many of these people work full time. If that’s the case the should be earning a minimum of £12194, with tax and NI only payable on the last £1594, meaning take-home is £11,379.12. Add 1 child, in childcare, and you add £2324.14 to this for benefits for the rest of this tax year.
So, the question really is, is the above (for a full year) too little to live off…

Its a broad question as every life and situation is different, in London I would imagine it would be very very hard.
I can’t recall ever using Spain to justify a tax argument? Anyway why should population come into it?
Is it more on an ideological thing that you simply object to paying more tax for a society that may need it?
I have no objection at all.

So roughly £750 a month to pay rent and fuel bills and buy food. Not an awful lot is it!!
But saying that why would you need childcare if only one of you is working, so that takes it back up to ~£950 a month. Still would only just cover the essentials.
Yes, London would be nigh on impossible to live on minimum wage, I agree, although there has been an increase in the amount of people paying the London Living Wage of £9.15 an hour.
£9,15 and where would this person live? And if a place did such exist it would be survival not living , huge difference. That goes for the South East and many other parts of the Nation, to me a low tax economy is simply lowering your knickers to big corps. They bring nothing other than low skilled, low paid non unionised work into the Country, globalisation is a reality but it doesn’t have to be a race to the bottom for the people.
I’d like to know how many of these working people are actually being paid.
Remember that this is a government that has no problem including workfare slaves in its “employed” numbers, even though they actually cost more to the economy.
No problem paying more tax at all - however I would object to it being spent on benefits if it can be proved that people on 35 hours work, claiming their full benefits was enough to live on.
You can’t rule places out to live because they’re shit Barry, that’s not how it works. If you earn low money then the assumption is you’ll probably live somewhere a bit shit, but still be able to feed your kids.
Yes, you are right, if you have a child in childcare you get an extra ~£200 a month, so your £1,142 is about right, but then you don’t get child care unless your kid is in childcare so you don’t actually benefit from it, in fact you’re probably worse off as childcare is not cheap.
So still ~£950 a month to live on. 2 bedroom flat rent down here is upwards of ~£650 a month from a quick search!!
Google is said to be negotiating a tax settlement with France worth three times more than it paid the British Exchequer even though it employs thousands more staff in the UK.
The UK arm generates about three times as much revenue as Google France and employs four times as many people.
The Times reported that French officials are chasing the internet giant for €500m (£381m) over a similar tax avoidance structure to the one it used in the UK which has caused controversy.
As the internet giant expands its operation in the UK, it and HMRC are in the firing line from campaigners after Google settled its tax bill with the British government for £130m over 10 years, compared with the company’s $5.6bn (£3.9bn) annual UK revenues.
Downing Street distanced itself from Chancellor George Osborne’s claim that the £130m agreement was a “victory” for the taxpayer as sources at the National Audit Office told the Daily Mailthat it would be investigating the deal.
I don’t know if you’ve ever been to London, or a big city, but most of the time you tend to have nice araeas interspersed with shit areas. For every Sunbury on Thames you’ve got a Feltham within a mile or so.
That’s not the full benefits, that’s just including benefits for the first 3 months (Jan to Apr) - I’m not sure how much someone will get for a full year of benefits (hence why I’ve not included it).
