Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an estimate of the number of households that have a joint income of over £90,000 that are not subject to the High Income Child Benefit Charge.

This question was answered on 20th May 2025
By withdrawing Child Benefit from high-income parents where the higher earner earns £60,000 or more, the HICBC helps to ensure the sustainability of the public finances and protect our vital public services.

Information on the number of households that have a joint income of over £90,000 that are not subject to the High Income Child Benefit Charge is only available at disproportionate cost.
