Yes, it's easy enough when in her position to 'pay' yourself a very low income (see also The Frugality). It's all just so shady. Makes me so cross. Plus she expects us to feel sorry for her having to pay the tax man back money that never actually belonged to her!

That's why she's daft posting about anything financial online, if she's made herself a limited company, her accounts will be filed with Companies House for all to see if they wanted to. Be very easy to do some digging. Whatever, multiple skiing trips and claiming tax credits does not quite add up.
They are already filed up to March 18. They don't show much profit to be fair. But her online persona is still completely incompatible with the accounts and being eligible for tax credits. Maybe mummy and daddy paid for the Mauritius holiday? Who knows? If you are earning 16 grand a year and living in London then having multiple holidays wouldn't be my main priority, but maybe that's where I am going wrong. Not sure that post was a great idea in terms of follower engagement, other than there is a probably a fair few people pausing on that post and mouthing "What. The. duck" to themselves.
It’s not child benefit. You have to file that yourself, then the bill comes just before Christmas and has to be paid before the end of January (I know that from personal experience).
And if it’s child tax credits, they must have a very creative accountant. The threshold for that has been lowered year upon year. A friend has 3 kids and an income of around £30,000 and doesn’t get anything.

CT really is thick as mince. I hope that the tax man does some serious investigating around her. She said that they paid for Mauritius themselves and it wasn’t a gift - holidaying over Christmas & NEw Years is extortionate and that would have cost £10k minimum. Also the latest ski trip wasn’t declared as a gift/ad so presumably they paid for that too? She must be raking it in and I honestly do not see the appeal. She literally just seems like a grumpy, nagging always pissed off slob, hardly “aspirational”. And what’s with all the gurning
Do you think accountants of bloggers are being given receipts for all the gifts though? They probably work with what they are given. Cash payment in this industry seems not to be the norm.
Don’t tax credits letter come addressed to both claimants? Maybe she’s been claiming as a single parent.
Well maybe she’s made a shitload more profit since the March 18 accounts to give her the benefit of the doubt. In which case, why the surprise that you have to pay back your tax credits though
makes you wonder if, as a blogger, they put holidays down as a tax deductable expense.
Serious damage limitation going on there
LOL at the excuses being rolled out. If she’s self employed and does self assessment and files company accounts, how can she have not known or noticed? 
It’s complete bull. So they relied on the money at one point, then when they started earning over the threshold they just ‘forgot’ about it? Pull the other one, loveSerious damage limitation going on there
That is absolute balls!! Every year they send you a form to fill out to update them of your earnings! There's just no way she 'didn't realise'.
Goodness such Clemmie entitlement! One of them bravely loan parenting, try that when you work full time love, and one of them caught on the hop by the bad, bad tax man. They really have no idea, do they? And, given the nit saga sweeping Insta, they all think we are stupid!
It could be child benefit she’s talking about and not tax credits, you don’t reapply for that each year but it should be declared on your tax return and paid back if you’re over the threshold.
