question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential risk to UK net zero targets of not reforming the Transmission Network Use of System (TNUoS) charging system, which places a premium on wind farms based upon postcode rather than project viability.

Transmission charges are set to reflect the costs which generators and demand customers in different locations impose on the transmission network.

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 1 March 2021 to Question 155212, on Child Benefit, how his Department will reconcile basic rate taxpayers being affected by the High Income Child Benefit Charge in the upcoming tax year.
tabling member constituency	Linlithgow and East Falkirk
tabling member printed	Martyn Day
uin	170688
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2021 answer text <p>The High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) is a tax charge which applies to anyone with an income of over £50,000 who gets Child Benefit, or whose partner gets it. The charge increases gradually for those with incomes between £50,000 and £60,000 and is equal to one per cent of a family’s Child Benefit for every extra £100 of income that is over £50,000 each year. Where income exceeds £60,000, the tax charge is equal to the amount payable in Child Benefit.</p><p> </p><p>In order to ensure that people pay the correct tax charge, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) need to know both the amount of Child Benefit received and the total taxable income. A Self-Assessment tax return is the only means of establishing this, and avoids using estimates of income which could result in too little, or too much, tax being paid.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC have taken considerable steps to raise awareness of HICBC. They use a wide array of channels to reach those who may be liable to pay HICBC and there is a prominent message about HICBC on the Child Benefit claim form.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, where HMRC hold all the relevant information, they write to parents who may have become liable for HICBC, explaining what they need to do to pay the charge when it is due and avoid penalties.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/03/2021 13:22:38 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
