CSA minimum threshold too low
January 6, 2012
I have recently been reassessed by CSA and because I started a new business last year they required my tax return for the last financial year.
Because I am only just getting the business established, (which will enevitably benefit my son at some point), my income for last year equated to an average of £16.35 per week.
The CSA have decided that out of this I must pay £5.00 per week, as the minimum threshold is set at earnings of £5.00 per week.
It seems ridiculous to me that if you earn £5.00 per week, you have to pay £5.00 per week! Does anyone else find this rather odd?
There is absolutley nothing that I can do. CSA have me by the short and curlies. I want to be able to pay for my son, however £11.35 per week is not going to keep a roof over my head or allow me to grow my business for my son’s future?
