Child benifit and higher earnings

Kimberley85

Hi

My husband has recently got a pay rise which has taken him just over the £50k bracket.
Now what I’d like to know is I claim child benifit for our 3 child which is all in my name- now do we have to notify the tax office seen as it’s not him claiming child benifit at all as I know there is a tax you then have to pay on the child benifit??

He might want to consider making extra pension contributions to lower the income he's assessed on for this. Search the board, been discussed loads here.
