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

Example:
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.
PLEASE take a minute out of your day and sign this petition.

Thank you :)

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure whether you'd like the UK Parliament to increase the benefit entitlement for families A and B, or decrease the entitlement for family C in your example.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
