in Cutting tax
Hi, is the tax free dividend allowance of £1000 on top of the personal allowance?
I have net taxable income of £56k and receive £1k dividend on top. I have to partially repay the child benefit. This year is the first time I've been over the lower limit.

Done my tax return online and it is calculating that I owe 70% of the CB back and an additional £400 for 40% on the dividend? HMRC helpline said the tax free dividend allowance only applies if you have no other income but surely in that scenario I'd have my personal allowance anyway...

There is no allowance for dividends.
The first £1,000 will be taxed at 0% (the dividend nil rate) but it's still taxable income and forms part of your Adjusted Net Income.
And your ANI is what determines any HICBC.2
