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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 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> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 26/02/2019 12:04:55 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
