The tax charge increases gradually for taxpayers with incomes between £50,000 and £60,000.</p><p> </p><p>Those who continue to receive Child Benefit must register for Self Assessment to declare their Child Benefit payments and pay the tax charge through their tax return.

Penalties are only charged if the tax due is not paid in full by the following 31 January. These penalties are statutory and are charged unless the individual has a reasonable excuse given their individual circumstances.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 02/07/2018 13:22:29 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
