answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2024 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> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 09/01/2024 14:30:28 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2023 answer text <p>The High Income Child Benefit Charge is currently deemed to be the best mechanism to target Child Benefit expenditure. The present arrangements mean that the Government supports the majority of families, whilst helping to ensure the fiscal position remains sustainable.</p><p> </p><p>The Adjusted Net Income (ANI) threshold for HICBC affects taxpayers who are generally on comparatively high incomes, and most families are unaffected. Raising the threshold would come at a significant cost to the Government at a time when support is needed for vital public services and to support the most vulnerable.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC publishes statistics on the number of Child Benefit claimants, including the number impacted by HICBC.
