This has included improving the Child Benefit form to ensure that it is clear that the form should be completed, even where the parents may wish to opt out of getting Child Benefit payments. HMRC has also undertaken customer research to explore Child Benefit claimants\u2019 understanding of HICBC, benefits of claiming and the reasons why some do not make a claim.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>HMRC has taken considerable steps to raise awareness of the HICBC. It currently shares information via social media, through third parties such as websites aimed at parents or families, and on GOV.UK. HMRC writes to around 70,000 customers each year to remind them what they need to do to pay the HICBC.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>HMRC are also delivering on the Government\u2019s commitment, made in July 2023, to enable employed individuals to pay the HICBC through their tax code, removing the need to register for Self Assessment. This will make the process of paying the charge simpler for individuals who become liable to the charge, reaffirming the Government\u2019s commitment to a simpler and fairer tax system. The Government will provide further detail in due course.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>In addition, the Government recognises concerns that some eligible parents who have not claimed Child Benefit could miss out on their future entitlement to a full State Pension. This is why at Tax Administration and Maintenance Day on 28 April 2023, the Government announced that it will address this issue to enable affected parents to receive a National Insurance credit retrospectively. Further details of next steps will be set out in due course.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The OTS\u2019 findings continue to inform HMRC\u2019s ongoing work<\/p>"}

The HICBC applies to Child Benefit recipients who have, or whose partner has, an adjusted net income of £50,000.<\/p><p>The Government is grateful to the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) for their suggestions for how the individual\u2019s experience of child benefit and the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) could be improved.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has taken considerable steps to raise awareness of the HICBC. They share information via social media, through third parties such as websites aimed at parents or families, and on GOV.UK. Information about the High Income Child Benefit Charge is on the front page of the Child Benefit claim form and explains how the charge works, including the importance of claiming to ensure receipt of National Insurance credits even if opting out of payments. HMRC also write to around 70,000 customers each year to remind them what they need to do to pay the HICBC.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The latest information on how many people HMRC contact to advise that they may be liable to pay the HICBC is published here: <a href=\"https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-income-child-benefit-charge-data/high-income-child-benefit-charge\" target=\"_blank\"><em>High Income Child Benefit Charge - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>"}
