Some of you will already know that the Government is currently consulting on its proposal to charge parents for the use of the Child Support Agency (CSA). This means that it will deduct up to 12% from the monthly child maintenance payment that the carer parent currently receives, should they continue to use the system. The average maintenance payment is £200.00 per month which means an average of £24.00 will be deducted directly from child(ren)s maintenance each and every month.

This is money that one parent has expressly given for the payment of their child(ren)s upbringing and the Government proposes to take some of this payment away!

If you are personally affected you can read the Government’s consultation paper and respond directly at

Before I go on, I need to ask first. Do you know why they are putting a tax on this?

I'd be willing to bet the Government is racking up it's debt and is looking for places to get more cash. Do you have an alternitive to this tax for the Government to do?
