Tax Credits: Currently, those with children and an annual income of £50,000 or less receive £545 a year, after which payments are tapered at a rate of £1 in every £15.
Whereas...
Child Benefit: All parents regardless of their income are currently eligible for this tax-free payment, with £20.30 paid a week for the eldest child and £13.40 for subsequent children.
Not having children, or having any UK friends with children I had no idea about these. You get paid to have kids in this overcrowded country! Potentially £30 a week!
