Require HMRC to consider HICBC when deciding Child Benefit for separated parents — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.
Require the UK Government to change Child Benefit rules so HMRC must consider HICBC liability when deciding which separated parent receives Child Benefit, alongside each parent's practical and financial responsibility for the child.
Require the UK Government to amend Child Benefit rules so that, when separated parents share care, HMRC can consider whether the parent receiving the award must repay some or all through the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC), alongside each parent’s practical and financial responsibilities, rather than relying solely on overnight stays, and review safeguards against claims being used for post-separation economic abuse or financial control.
