Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of people affected by the higher income child benefit charge who have failed to declare it to HM Revenue and Customs.

This question was answered on 16th March 2015
Of 1.1 million individuals expected to be affected in the first year, 2012/13, 45,000 did not register for Self Assessment to pay the charge. HMRC is contacting people who have not complied to ensure the charge is paid.
