Review The High Income Child Benefit Charge
Review The High Income Child Benefit Charge.
This charge should be reflected on total household income, not one individuals income.
The £50,000.00 cap should also look to be increased now, as it has remained the same for 10 years.
The current policy is unfair and outdated.
Current rules mean both parents could be earning £49,999.99, a total income of £99,999.98 and not pay a change. Yet if one parent earns over £50,000.00 a charge is brought in, even though the second parent could have a low / zero income.
This £50,000 cap has also not been increased for 10 years, since 2013; which does not reflect on salary increases or inflation, pushing more and more people into this higher charge bracket.
