Re: just been hit.


">I don't really want to avoid paying money ( after all she's my baby) but
my
problem is on a real level my ESSENTIAL outgoings will surpass my
incomming, I really don't want to give up work and definately don't want
to sell my house. What is the appeals procedure like and do they really
take into consideration that this may destroy a life (namely mine)

Regarding an appeal, they will look at the same law which the assessment
people will look at. They will not take anything else into account. So
saying to the appeals people that "It will destroy my life" will make no
differents at all.

The CSA tried to take into account "Essential" outgoings under CSA1 - which
people didn't like so they are now on CSA2 - which just takes 15% (for 1
child).

I think you have to regard it like Tax you can not go to the tax man and
reduce the amount of tax you are paying - it is a set amount.

Some other countries look at the cost it takes to bring up a child - How
much do you think it would cost? A bit more then £45 a week!

It looks like you might have a slight reduction if your sared care is at
least 1/7 of the time. Try and work out how many nights she stays with you
and if on average it is 1 night in 7 then there will be a slight reduction.

I'm sorry for the one to tell you this but you need to go and look at your
"Essential" outgoing and see what is "Essential".
