	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2023 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> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 15/05/2023 14:26:32 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2021 answer text <p>The Government’s view is that cashback without a purchase has the potential to be a valuable facility to cash users, and play an important role in the UK’s cash infrastructure. That is why the Government made legislative changes to support the widespread offering of cashback without a purchase by shops and other businesses as part of the Financial Services Act 2021. The financial services industry is already seeking to take advantage of these changes to the benefit of cash users; working with retailers to get this service rolled out to local communities.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does not intend to mandate the provision of cashback without a purchase, which could impose associated costs on business.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 06/09/2021 12:42:15 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
