Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 6 September 2023 to Question 196959 on High Income Child Benefit Tax Charge, if he will undertake a review of the income thresholds for the payment of the High Income Child Benefit Charge.

The Government is committed to managing the public finances in a disciplined and responsible way.

The Adjusted Net Income threshold of £50,000 for the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) means that the Government continues to support the majority of Child Benefit claimants, whilst ensuring that the fiscal position remains sustainable. The Government therefore considers that the current threshold remains appropriate.
