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. more like this

answer text <p>Child Benefit is payable where a claimant is responsible for a child under the age of 16, or a qualifying young person up to the age of 20 in full-time non-advanced education or approved training. A person is treated as being responsible for a child in any week where:</p><p>(i) they have the child living with them in that week; or</p><p>(ii) they are contributing to the upkeep of the child at a weekly rate not less than the amount of Child Benefit payable for that week.</p><p> </p><p>Only one person can get Child Benefit in respect of a child. In cases of shared care, where more than one person meets the entitlement criteria and makes a claim for Child Benefit, priority rules apply. These rules are set out in the Child Benefit Technical Manual at the following link.</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/child-benefit-technical-manual/cbtm08001" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/child-benefit-technical-manual/cbtm08001</a></p> more like this

answer text <p>The government has always encouraged families to claim Child Benefit to receive the associated National Insurance credits and help protect their future right to the State Pension.</p><p> </p><p>Parents are advised to do this on the Child Benefit claim form (which is included in Bounty Packs that go to new parents), through the HMRC helpline, and online at GOV.UK.</p><p> </p><p>From April 2019 the Child Benefit claim form and accompanying notes will further emphasise the non-monetary benefits a Child Benefit award provides: in particular, the associated National Insurance credits which protect their State Pension.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, HMRC is developing social media content and material that can be distributed to external partners, to further promote the importance of claiming.</p><p> </p><p>Most parents are able to qualify for the new State Pension, even if there are gaps of up to 15 years in their National Insurance records. This means that those parents who have not claimed Child Benefit still have the opportunity to achieve the full State Pension.</p><p> </p>
