Parents will see significant changes to their Child Benefit payments after this week
From the start of the new tax year on Saturday, April 6, Child Benefit will see higher rates alongside many other benefits across the country. Meanwhile, a change to the High Income Child Benefit Charge will see more fairness for more than 100,000 families.
Rate increase Like many other benefits and tax credits, Child Benefit will be receiving higher rates from the start of the new tax year. According to HMRC, this will be worth an extra £83.20 for families with one child. Angela MacDonald, HMRC’s Deputy Chief Executive and Second Permanent Secretary, said: "The increase in Child Benefit rates for existing claimants is automatic and families do not need to contact us. New claimants should apply online or using HMRC’s app. Search ‘child benefit’ on GOV.UK for more information."

Millions of parents to benefit from increased Child Benefit paymentsHM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has confirmed that millions of parents will benefit from increased Child Benefit payments from later this week - worth an extra £83.20 a year for families with one child. Child Benefit claimed for additional children is also increasing, going up by £54.60 per year, with no limit on the number of children that can be claimed for. All of these changes will come into effect from April 6. This means that families will receive an annual payment of up to £1331 for their first child, and up to £881 for every child after that.
