house id	1
legislature	25259 pref label House of Commons

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

It applies to employees who use a fully electric vehicle as a company car.</p><p> </p><p>The Advisory Electric Rate (AER) was changed in December 2021 from 4 pence per mile (ppm) to 5ppm. This was calculated using published consumption rates, adjusted to reflect real driving conditions, and the average cost of electricity.</p><p> </p><p>However, employers are not required to use the AER.

Otherwise, when employers reimburse employees at a higher rate than the published AER (5ppm), the excess is subject to Income Tax and NICs.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps this policy under review.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 11/11/2022 11:50:03 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
