Child benefit/self assessment

Hi

I just wondered if anyone can help. This tax year, it looks like I'm going to be near/over the threshold for not being entitled to CB. Base salary is over the £50k threshold but childcare vouchers and pension contributions bring it under. However, I'm due a bonus and a pay rise in September - still to be confirmed but after ccv and pension it's likely that my full salary for 2015/2016 will be just under (maybe just a bit over), the £60k threshold.

I understand this means that I'll owe some (if not all) of our 2015/2016 child benefit (two children) back/through tax.

I am and have always been PAYE and only just tipped into the 40% bracket in 2014/15. So I have no idea what I need to do. Does SA come into play now? If so, when do I need to register for 2015/16? I'm sorry if this sounds ignorant but I've never had to deal with it before and want to make sure I've done what I need to do.

Thanks
