Closed petition Change the high income child benefit tax charge to total household income

Closed on 23 October 2021

The child benefit high income tax charge is extremely unfair as it considers income from only 1 parent.

The charge should be based on a combined household income, as one parent can earn £50,000 and be charged this tax but two parents can earn a combined £99,999.

This is not a fair way to tax parents of this country.
The current rules are discriminating against families which include any of the following; 1 ‘stay at home’ parent, 1 ‘low income’ parent and ‘single’ parent households.

This needs to be looked at urgently and make the charge down to a combined earning of households over 100k to make this a fair system across the country for all people.
