Child tax credits / benefit

GoldenFruit

Hi
I want to get a comprehensive list of what benefits (if any) I am entitled to with a 8 month old child and married. I am the higher income earner at £80k+
Thanks

Quite possibly just Child Benefit.  Although without significant pension contributions you are likely to need to repay that in due course via the High Income Child Benefit Charge.

Have you tried websites like this?

It's no longer possible to claim Tax Credits. Universal Credit has replaced all means tested benefits. With that amount of income, then it's very unlikely you'll be entitled to anything.

With that kind of income...why would you want to claim benefits anyway?. Can't see you being entitled to anything.

This board is not for judgement, it's for helping people get what they're entitled to.  No harm the OP asking, to check they're not missing out on anything they're entitled to.

Well assuming the child lives with the op they are going to be entitled to Child Benefit.

And plenty of people earning £80k will get to keep all of the Child Benefit due to large pension contributions.
