Gordon Brown's tax credit system came into force in 2003. It has not proved successful. The House of Commons' Public Accounts Committee has described the tax credit system as a "nightmare" and "frustratingly arcane". Millions of honest households have suffered, and many fraudsters have prospered.
Reform or abolition of this unhappy system should be a key item on the political agenda, now and at the next General Election.
This is a group for people who have been (or are being) unfairly treated as a result of this system, and for those who believe it should be reformed or abolished, to post news, ideas and information.
