star this property answer text The High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) is a tax charge which was introduced in 2013 for recipients of Child Benefit payments on higher incomes. The HICBC applies to Child Benefit recipients who have, or whose partner has, an adjusted net income of £50,000.<p> </p><p>The UK has a system of independent taxation where every individual, including each partner in a couple, is treated equally within the income tax system and has their own personal allowance and set of rate bands which they can set against their own income. It is a fundamental principle of independent taxation that the individual incomes are taxed separately, and this ensures independence and privacy in their tax affairs. Allowing transfers of income between partners would run counter to this principle.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>‘Probiotic’ is a term used to describe live bacteria used in food and food supplements. The current Regulation governs the use of nutrition and health claims on foods to protect consumers from being misled, by ensuring that any health claims made are backed by substantiated scientific evidence. Under the Regulation, the term ‘probiotic’ can be considered a non-specific health claim, as it suggests a relationship between the substance and health. It can already be used, providing it is accompanied by an approved health claim for the specific strain of live bacteria. No further assessment of merit has been undertaken although the Department continues to engage with industry on any potential future application for new assessment. To date the Department has not received any application for approving claims on specific strains of live bacteria. Companies would be required to include the specific strain in the ingredient listing.</p> more like this
