The High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) only affects Child Benefit recipients who have, or whose partner has, and adjusted net income between £50,000 and £60,000.

Data on children living in low-income households is available in the public domain as part of the Households Below Average Income statistical release, published on GOV.UK by the Department for Work and Pensions.
