This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Change the current 'Child Benefit Tax Charge' to make it fair for ALL...
Under the current system it is unfair that a family where one person with an income of more than £50,000 a year will not be eligible for full child benefit, whilst another family with both parents working and earning £45,000 each (£90,000 in total) still receive FULL child benefit..
More details
Example:
Family A have a total income of £75,000 (Dad earns £60,000, Mum earns £15,000) They receive NO child benefit.
Family B have a total income of £75,000 (Dad earns £55,000, Mum earns £20,000) They receive REDUCED child benefit.
Family C have a total income of £98,000 (Dad & Mum both earn £49,000) They receive FULL child benefit.
This is TOTALLY unfair.
PLEASE take a minute out of your day and sign this petition.

Thank you :)
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure whether you'd like the UK Parliament to increase the benefit entitlement for families A and B, or decrease the entitlement for family C in your example.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
