Change the high income child benefit tax charge to total household income

Petition Details

The child benefit high income tax charge is extremely unfair as it considers income from only 1 parent.

The charge should be based on a combined household income, as one parent can earn £50,000 and be charged this tax but two parents can earn a combined £99,999.

Additional Information

This is not a fair way to tax parents of this country.
The current rules are discriminating against families which include any of the following; 1 ‘stay at home’ parent, 1 ‘low income’ parent and ‘single’ parent households.

This needs to be looked at urgently and make the charge down to a combined earning of households over 100k to make this a fair system across the country for all people.
