High Income Child Benefit Tax Charge
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an estimate of the number of households that have a joint income of over £90,000 that are not subject to the High Income Child Benefit Charge.
Answered by James Murray
By withdrawing Child Benefit from high-income parents where the higher earner earns £60,000 or more, the HICBC helps to ensure the sustainability of the public finances and protect our vital public services.
Information on the number of households that have a joint income of over £90,000 that are not subject to the High Income Child Benefit Charge is only available at disproportionate cost.
