With the stupid child benefit set up
I think there may be situations where you actually do end up worse off after a payrise.

Mine was to do with Child Tax Credits
But yes.

I still insist on taking all the child benefit even though I may end up having to pay some back due to bonuses

Tax Credits are the devil's sperm
They fuck you over in any way possible. We actually worked out we'd get nothing in the next tax year so cancelled them. This then meant we had to pay the previous years allowance back. Cheers for that, YOU FUCKING CUNTS

They're idiots
My other half is an accountant, she gives them the correct information to the penny. Every year they seem to give us a lower amount than she has worked out. Every year she calls and questions this and every year they send us a cheque because of underpayment. Last years was enough for a midweek break at Disneyland Paris.
