This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Petition Change Child Benefit cap from £60k sole earner to £100k joint or single income
Under the current system it is TOTALLY unfair that a family where one person with an income of more than £50,000 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
A single earner of £60k will be on a 40% tax bracket with no child benefit yet 2 parents can earn £43k each at 20% and get full child benefit!!
Child Benefit should be based on TOTAL household income.
This may not impact you now but may do so in the future so please sign and share and let’s get this totally unfair system changed!
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much”
Thank you :)
