The petition argues that the rules are outdated and not an accurate reflection of current salaries.
A new online petition is calling for Child Benefit rules to be changed to “take into account inflation since 2013, and make it apply to household income, not individual income”. The High Income Child Benefit Charge provides for Child Benefit to be clawed back through the self Assessment tax system from families where the highest earner has an income above £50,000.
More than 1,000 people have signed the e-petition so far, at 10,000, the UK Government will respond to the proposal. “We believe the way the charge works is outdated and does not take into account inflation since 2013 or household incomes. Inflation means that the current £50,000 threshold is no longer a high income, and basing the charge on individual, rather than household income, means some households liable for the charge have lower incomes than households that do not have to pay the charge.”
