'We’re still in a cost-of-living crisis and two years is a long time to wait for this to be addressed'
'We’re still in a cost-of-living crisis and two years is a long time to wait for this to be addressed'Parents hit hard by the cost-of-living crisis and soaring childcare costs say Jeremy Hunt’s reforms to child benefit payback thresholds will not come soon enough.
Child benefit is not means-tested, and the charge is the Treasury’s way of reducing the amount of benefit paid to higher earners. Currently, they need to pay back 1 per cent of the benefit for every £100 of their income over £50,000. Then at £60,000, the benefit is stopped. “I’ll now be entitled to claim child benefit, but will have to pay some of it back,” the self-employed accountant from Manchester told. “But if a two-parent household earn £59,000 each, bringing their household income to £118,000, they won’t have to pay any of it back.
Mother-of-two Sam Kennedy Christian estimates her family will have around £1,300 extra a year because of the changes. With a five-year-old and one-year-old, she works part-time earning £17,000 a year, while her husband brings in between £50,000 to £60,000.They have been claiming the tax, some years pay back nearly all of it, but the changes will probably mean they get to keep all of it.
