tabling member constituency	Bristol North West
tabling member printed	Darren Jones
uin	277264
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2019 answer text <p>The Government introduced the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) from January 2013 to ensure that support is targeted at those who need it most. It applies to anyone with an individual income over £50,000, who claims Child Benefit or whose partner claims it. The charge increases gradually for taxpayers with incomes between £50,000 and £60,000.</p><p> </p>If total household income was taken into account, information on the incomes of everyone in each of the eight million households receiving Child Benefit would need to be collected and would effectively introduce a new means test. The Government’s approach withdraws Child Benefit from those on higher incomes, whilst having no impact on the majority of claimants. answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 18/07/2019 10:05:22 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

The same tax rules must apply identically to everyone in the same situation, regardless of their employer.</p><p> </p><p>Pensions tax relief is one of the most expensive reliefs in the personal tax system.

This flexibility will give senior clinicians in England and Wales more choice in respect of their pension accrual, and therefore the ability to control better any pensions tax charges.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 19/07/2019 12:03:41 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
