Child Benefit High Income Charge

I had my first child in January 2024 but have only recently claimed child benefit in August, which has just been received with 3 months backdated. My husband earns over £60,000 and therefore we are aware he will need to register for self assessment in regards to self assessment. Does he need to register for self assessment by 5 October 2024? Or will it be next year that the self assessment needs to be done for the tax year 24/25?

Hi,

As your child benefit began in August 2024, your husband will need to complete a 24/25 tax return - he will not need to register to file this until April next year, with the deadline for

registration being 5th October 2025.

Thank you.
