Does your child have a bank account?
When Ben was 2 my Nan opened a bank account for him and his pocket money goes into it. Today he wanted to draw some money out . Now my mum had the bank book as she puts the money in.In the car on the way down OH is looking at the book and sees it regulary says TAX DEDUCTION I asked at the bank and they said- oh is he not a tax payer?- He's 15 they said it is automatically taken out of savings accounts so for 13 years he has been paying tax it works out probably around £50 in total.
He had to sign a form saying he does not pay tax and now we have to go to the tax office to claim it all back
If your child has a savings account check that they too are not paying tax
