Is Child Benefit based on household income?
Any household in receipt of Child Benefit and with an income of more than £50,000 a year could be subject to a Child Benefit charge. Your joint income is irrelevant – a couple where both are earning £49,000 are not affected by the charge. It doesn’t matter whether it is you or your partner who claims Child Benefit.
How can I avoid paying tax on Child Benefit?
To avoid the tax charge the parent should ask HMRC to stop the payments. The higher income parent will then only be taxed on any payments received up to the date that they stop. A self-assessment return will still have to be filed by the higher earner if any payment is received in a tax year.
