Child Benefit threshold increase

BearBear1234

Last year I moved in with my partner, due to his earnings I cancelled my child benefit payments for my son. I have received a text message today from 'HM Revenue and Customs' with the following info: 'If you opted out of receiving Child Benefit payments and you and your partner each earn less than £80,000, you may now want to opt back in. This follows recent increases to thresholds for the High Income Child Benefit Charge.' I've had a quick google and can't find any confirmation of this so wondered if anyone could confirm if this is true as I would be able to start claiming it again if it is. Many thanks.

Between £60 and £80k and you will still need to pay some back, but not all.

 Even if needing to pay some back it can be beneficial to claim for the NI credits if you are not employed
