Anyone opted out, are all of you a bunch of taxing dodging gits by ensuring you're less than £50k per spouse?

Hah, if we opted out it would just be claimed by my partner's ex, which then also entitles her to claim child support through the CSA.
Considering the kids predominantly live with us....uhm, no way. -
Nah, just under the 50k from permie-dom as at April 2012 so I think we're off the radar. I only just confirmed this by completing the tax return
. Having since separated it would be an interesting wail-esque whinge article if I were to get stung under the 'household' element of the test. 
Tbh, when we first qualified I thought we didn't really, hand on heart, need it. Must be a lot like us, it doesn't make the difference between food and no food for the kids, just better food, clothes, holidays, cars...whateverComment

Seriously George, Go f u c k yourself. Everyone has to contribute??? Don't lecture us you pontificating tosspot! I for one was frugal when everyone else was pissing their credit cards, cheap loans and benefits up against the wall. Don't think that now, that you the politicians, the benefit scroungers and morons who borrowed so much without any concept of basic maths should be bailed out by the likes of me.Originally posted by bless 'em all View Post
