yes, the tax credits thing is a bit daft.

I am worse off because my very small pay rise from top of scale 3 to bottom of scale 4 puts me over a child tax credits threshold which means I lose enough tax credits to wipe out my pay rise and more. However in two years time with incremental payrises I will be better off.

They spend enough time getting fucking KPMG and all those other cunts to pore over the tax codes to make themselves better off that they could easily come up with a better system that doesn't have the possibility of making people worse off by ostensibly earning more money.
I mean the obvious answer is to drop tax credits entirely and make companies pay a proper wage.

and I don't mind too much because I am currently on incremental pay. If I wasn't then I might be a bit more pissed off about it.
