You also need to look at things like the "kiddie tax," where parents are taxed on the income of their children.

do you have an example for this? In my view the prevalent model is: kids have either a) low income and are dependent, in which case their parents might qualify for child tax credit, child benefit etc. or b) they have sufficient income, then they are a taxpayer on their own and there is no child tax credit for their parents
