The tax return would have gone in on 31 Jan though and any underpaid tax paid back then or else her tax code would have been amended surely? That looks like a payment notice.

In either case why share it?! It's not 'honest parenting'. In fact it sounds the complete opposite
They all do it on insta stories, randomly sharing every minor details with no quality threshold, before you know it, you’ve admitted to 90k strangers that you claim benefits you don’t qualify for while living a privileged lifestyle. Oops
Maybe she thinks it makes her sound relatable: hey I may have more holidays than you can shake a stick at but I still forget to tell the benefits office when my circumstances change too! #wingingit #taxingtheshitoutofit #taxcreditsthatslay
Doesn't she work as a brand/ social media consultant though?!They all do it on insta stories, randomly sharing every minor details with no quality threshold, before you know it, you’ve admitted to 90k strangers that you claim benefits you don’t qualify while living a privileged lifestyle. Oops
She’s just clarified it’s child benefit not child tax credit.
I wonder why she didn’t just pay it back in her tax return then as she must be in self assessment as she’s self employed. Makes more sense than tax credits though.
Sounds like she’s not declared receiving it but hmrc have caught up with her for it. It’s a very clear question on a tax return though! Quite clearly asks were you in receipt of child benefit.
Ok..! I’m clueless, I have no idea..! I claimed for that one I think..!
Just seen a link on the Frugality’s stories to a post by Charlotte Jacklin about the terrorist attack in New Zealand - incorporated in her post (about using her ‘privilege’ to make a difference) is what is basically an ad for an Olivia Burton necklace - “necklace c/o Olivia Burton, I have worked with them on a paid campaign twice this year”. And the picture is of course of said necklace.
Just wow.
Just wow.
Omg.

Yep, if you earn over a certain amount (£60k from memory) you have to repay what you receive in tax. The recommendation I think is to claim even ignorance you earn over the threshold as otherwise you don’t get NI contributions for pension and also child may not get an NI number. I think you can state that you register but earn too much to revive but if you don’t then you receive and then repay at the end of the year. Assume that’s what she’s done as I think her post says she owes the tax man...
Clemmie T’s oversharing has really bitten her on her own a, she is the worst one for revealing all in order to be ‘relatable’ then gets upset when followers bite back .
Silly silly woman.
Silly silly woman.
Such bad judgement and maybe not a great career strategy, assuming she still has a career outside of insta influencer.
Can see the thought process here (you must disclose anything from a brand you've worked with in the last year as an ad) but how tone deaf?! Just don't wear the necklace. Ugh.
Re the frugality. She's 35 I think. Bought that flat in 2011 (per one of the interiors articles linked earlier), so when she was 27. She said she was on £16k salary until she was 28, working at magazines (on her blog post about money), and that she got help from her dad so that she could get a mortgage (comment on the same blog post). The flat cost them/her £237k (thanks Rightmove) so that must have been a hefty loan from Dad - yet she managed to repay it already, not to mention doing the loft conversion. The flat sold for £500k and their house cost £630k, and they've spent another £40k on it (from one of the articles). If she's now 35 and the breadwinner on £30k, there are some SERIOUS gaps in the finances there. Oh no silly me - she took sandwiches to work and did car boot sales!
That only applies if you are not working or otherwise don’t earn enough to pay NI contributions, otherwise it’s simpler to just not claim it in the first place. Another reason why influencers shouldn’t attempt to dish out advice to their followers if they don’t even understand how it works themselves . You repay through your self assessment tax return which as someone earlier said means she somehow didn’t fill the box in about child benefit in her 16/17 tax return and now they’ve found out about it somehow. Fine and repayment though, ouch.
