Do I need to include wifes income in HMRC income and expenditure

Hi,
HMRC said that I may need to do an income and expenditure form as I cannot pay the £1800 that I owe within the time frame that they want.
The debt is due to the high income child benefit tax. I am the one earns above the threshold and the debt is related to my tax code.
On the income and expenditure form , will I have to disclose my wifes income, or just mine as it's my debt. Surely they can't assume that my wife would pay??

You either:
Give them a household income/expenditure
OR
give them your income with you taking a pro-rata share of the household expenses
OR
say that your wife declines to take part in the exercise and you're assuming a 50-50 split0
