And I'd love to know from AbbevilleMummy why on earth she thinks I as a taxpayer should contribute to the cost of her nanny by making it tax deductible.
Because other forms of staff are tax deductible - drivers, PAs etc
It is often pointed out that there is an inherent sexism in a system which makes the sort of staff typically employed by men tax deductible, but those more typically by women not so
As long as the system allows tax breaks for people who can’t be bothered to take the tube or a cab, I can’t get worked up about people playing the system to get the same advantage when employing a nanny to allow them to work and pay tax
