Change the current 'Child Benefit Tax Charge' to make it fair for ALL...

Petition Details

Under the current system it is unfair that a family where one person with an income of more than £50,000 a year will not be eligible for full child benefit, whilst another family with both parents working and earning £45,000 each (£90,000 in total) still receive FULL child benefit.

Additional Information

Family A have a total income of £75,000 (Dad earns £60,000, Mum earns £15,000) They receive NO child benefit.

Family B have a total income of £75,000 (Dad earns £55,000, Mum earns £20,000) They receive REDUCED child benefit.

Family C have a total income of £98,000 (Dad & Mum both earn £49,000) They receive FULL child benefit.

This is TOTALLY unfair.
