- Child Benefit is receivable by a person responsible for each child until they reach 16, or 19 if they stay in education or training.
- If the person (or their spouse or partner) has ‘adjusted net income‘ above £50,000 the person with the highest income has to pay some of the Child Benefit as a tax charge.
- Where adjusted net income is more than £60,000 a year, the tax charge equals the Child Benefit received.
