Higher income child benefit charge

Hi My husband and I were separated from Feb 2023 till April 2024 and he wasn't living in the property. I claim child benefit for our two children and I am a low income earner. He is the high income earner and has just had a letter asking him to fill in a tax return form to pay HICBC. If he wasn't living here for the entire financial year he's not liable to pay it is he?

Hi
You would need to speak to Child Benefit: general enquiries as we cannot access your account on this forum.
