I heard a rumour that the individualisation policy will be challenged in the courts in the New Year. My husband heard it today at work, a work colleague of his told him. About time, is all I can say. My sister is badly affected by it, she doesn't work and her husband must pay more taxation even though they have one income less! How ridiculous is that! It doesn't make any sense at all.
A friend of my sisters', who lives in England, says they had the individualisation debate in England years ago, but that over there child care is far better subsidised than it is here. Over here we have two choices: either both parents work and pay ridiculously excessive child care costs, or, one parent stays at home and consequently the family get penalised and pay more taxation. It's a joke. A total JOKE! How can it possibly be justified? Why should a one income family be treated unequally to a two-income family? Why are the current government trying to make it harder for parents to stay at home to mind their children (and don't tell me they compensate through the homecarers allowance, sure that allowance wouldn't pay for pampers for a year)
