star this property answer text <p>The Government believes in having a fair taxation system which allows individuals to keep more of what they earn. The Government also needs to manage the public finances in a disciplined and responsible way in order to protect our vital public services. In 2020-2021 (the latest year that data is available), 99.7% of those liable for the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) paid income tax at the higher rate or above, and 88% of Child Benefit claimants were unaffected by the HICBC. The Government therefore currently considers that maintaining the threshold remains appropriate, but will keep this threshold under review in line with all other tax policy.</p> more like this
