Details of child benefit received in the year by you or your partner and/or a note of whether or not you or your partner has opted out of receiving child benefit, as a high-income child benefit charge is levied where you or your partner has income over £50,000.
As far as you know, does your partner have a higher income than you?
For years up to 2023/24 inclusive, when one partner’s income reaches £60,000, the full amount of child benefit will need repaying via Self-Assessment.
Following the Spring Budget 2024 the rules relating to High -Income Child Benefit charge is to change. If the new rules are implemented, the point at which the charge is levied will rise to £60,000 with effect 6 April 2024.
The charge is tapered, so for 2024/25 and subsequent years if you, or your partner, earn between £60,000 and £80,000 it may still be worth your while financially to claim. For instance, you’ll be charged 1% of your Child Benefit for every £200 of income that exceeds £60,000. If your income exceeds £80,000, the charge is equal to the amount of the Child Benefit payment.
