Stella Artois: “Belgium’s Premium Beer”

The one on the left was brewed and bought in Belgium. The one on the right was brewed and bought in the UK.

Do they taste the same? NO, not at all! The Belgium Stella has a soft, barley taste whereas the UK Stella has quite a bitter, sharp taste. Which is best? The Belgium Stella of course.

Information for Parents

Unclaimed Children’s Tax Allowance for 2002/3

The year before Tax Credits were introduced there was a

different non-means tested allowance available which was never

advertised by the Inland Revenue.

It is called the Children’s Tax Allowance for the Year 2002/3.

You can still claim this tax allowance before the 31 January

2009 deadline.

You need to phone HMRC on 0845 302 1437 (or preferably phone your local tax office) and ask them to check whether you have already

received this allowance and, if not, enquire as to what action

you need to take.

You are eligible to claim £520.00 allowance if;

*You have a child born between 6 April 1986 and 5 April 2003

*The child lived with you for all or part of 2002/2003

*You worked and paid tax for all or part of 2002/2003

*You or your partner earned £6,000 plus in the year 2002/2003

tax year

You are eligible for the £1,040 allowance if;

*If you can answer yes to the four questions above, and

*One of your children was born between 6 April 2002 and 5

April 2003

Notes:-

Making a claim does not affect your current or future

entitlement to Working or Child Tax credits.

Your Marital status is irrelevant

You cannot claim the allowance twice and if your final tax

code on your April 2003 P60 ended in a H or a T, you have

already had the allowance.

This is an easy claim for you to make so do not get duped into

paying someone to do it for you because they are likely to

charge a large percentage for their services.

Spread the word as this could be something which gives you a

little extra in these difficult times!!

Good luck!
