Britain’s Anti-Family Tax System
We greatly appreciate Frank Young’s article in The Spectator this week. What do you think?
Read Frank Young’s article about Britain’s anti-family tax system.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Spending more hours with our children is what many of us mothers want. It is not the burden so often referred to. Children flourish with more time with their parents. It should not be the role of taxation to separate mother from child. We need a fair family taxation system which takes account of a family’s ability to pay not ‘individual earnings’.
Families need choice.
MAHM would like to see:
An economic level playing field for parents who stay at home with the option of being taxed as a household with a transferable allowance for couples or an additional person’s allowance for single parents
Fair taxation for those who stay home and those who work
Childcare subsidies to follow the child, with parents able to choose whether they use it to stay home, or give it to a grandparent, childminder or external setting for care
Child benefit to be distributed fairly
All mothers to be eligible for their state pension regardless of whether they sign up to the Child Benefit or not
Further action?
Please consider reaching out to your local MP about this issue, or writing your own letter to a newspaper to raise the profile of the need for fairer family taxation.
