HM Treasury\u2019s Net Zero Review is looking into how the transition to a net zero economy will be funded, and where the costs will fall.

The Confidence and Supply financial annex committed the UK Government to providing £1 billion to Northern Ireland. £ The Government introduced the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) from January 2013 to ensure that support is targeted at those who need it most. It applies to anyone with an individual income over £50,000, who claims Child Benefit or whose partner claims it. The charge increases gradually for taxpayers with incomes between £50,000 and £60,000.<\/p> <\/p>If total household income was taken into account, information on the incomes of everyone in each of the eight million households receiving Child Benefit would need to be collected and would effectively introduce a new means test. The Government\u2019s approach withdraws Child Benefit from those on higher incomes, whilst having no impact on the majority of claimants."}
