Petition Base Child Benefit High Income Charge on household income and local wages

We want the Government to change this charge so it is based on total household income - rather than a single wage - and is in line with average wages for the area.

More details

The charge currently applies to any family in receipt of Child Benefit, where one person earns over £50,000 a year.

We want this to change so that it is based on the total household income, not a individual's salary, and reflects average pay in a locality.

This should better ensure that the charge only affects households that have above average earnings in their area, and not just one person with a salary of over £50,000.
