Child Benefit Tax Charge – Confessions of an Objektophilie

Posted by Peter Cross on October 31, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

I’m going to let you into a secret…myself and Mrs TTF sometimes have “disagreements” over things.  At times there are raised voices and on some occasions even tears (I usually pretend I have been chopping onions at this point). Following these discussions we obviously sit down run through the strengths and weaknesses of each opposing point of … Continue reading →

Research & Development Tax Credit – Man Flu Cure!!!!

Posted by Peter Cross on October 24, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

MEDIC!!!!  If you hadn’t noticed  there is a red cross on the door of TTF Towers. Homo-influenza (AKA Man Flu) has hit the men folk. I’m currently writing this on my iPhone whilst holding a screaming BJ (#2 son) and trying to pacify a whingeing Jabo (#1 Son).  It looks like it might take a while as I have … Continue reading →

Tax Free Medical and Dental Expenses – Attack of the Killer Baby

Posted by Peter Cross on October 11, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

At four o’clock this morning I was pleasantly dreaming about Orient lifting the LDV vans trophy (us O’s fans don’t have high ambitions) at Wembley stadium when I was violently awoken. Initially I thought that Mrs TTF may have got a bit fruity after reading fifty shades of grey but it was in fact Baby … Continue reading →

When the Tax Man Gets it Wrong…..ESC A19

Posted by Peter Cross on October 8, 2012 · Leave a Comment 

Being a man…, sorry a married man, sometimes I am informed that I don’t get things completely right. Don’t get me wrong I am quite happy to acknowledge that Mrs TTF makes the rules. What I don’t fully appreciate is why those rules are subject to change without notice! My better half puts this down … Continue reading →
