How did the government actually get this legislation changed.
Surely someone must have noticed that it would completely undo the concept of Independent taxation.
Noted with some irony that austerity was over a few years back yet We are still left with this charge that was implemented to address the financial crisis of 2010.
All in it together.
I did raise this point with my wife regarding where did she think the money was coming from .She assumed it was coming from my account - To be fair the way the child benefit payment is referenced is awful on the bank statement
its a 10 digit number followed by chb which when added into the various banking codes and abbreviations is well hard to pick out .that combined with online statements and every contactless payment been listed makes for a very muddled picture .
Going to pass on suing her.
The HMRC officer who put the letter together in September included all the information that was needed - I didn't supply this information so they must have compiled it from all the sources they have .
I find it odd that the system that is directly used in relation to the child benefit scheme has no way to access the information contained within the child benefit payment system .In 2021 i would believe it reasonable for an individual to expect that such a interlink would be in place and in use
Thank you all for your replies .
In the year the HICBC 2012/2013 was introduced my salary was £48,000 BUT I managed to get promoted and a pay rise so by 2014 I was on £57 000. My wife wasn't actually working so our house hold income was just my earnings .the more i look into this charge the more angry I get becasue each year the HMRC sent me an annual tax summary which clearly states what i paid tax on and what that tax is spent on , no mention of the HICBC and no mention of this Adjusted net income.
Surely the HMRC must realise that if joe bloggs knew about the HICBC they would look to adjust their pension contributions to best ameliorate the impact of the charge .
I did write to my local MP but that was of little use .
on a final note i looked up the statistics on the people who are claiming child benefit - 90% female which is understandable .the percentage of people impacted by the charges and getting penalises - 90% male
