Rejected petition Make child benefit rules fairer!

Instead of taking into account the earnings of one member of the household for the child benefit, calculate on household income.

More details

It is very unfair that if one member of the couple earns more then £50.099/year, we have to pay tax on the child benefit even if the other member only earns £10.000/annum!
But if both members earn £49.999, so almost £100.000/year in total, the higher earner tax on the child benefit is not applicable!
