Child benefit

With reference to Self Assessment, is ‘total from all employments’ the same as net adjusted income? I have a salary of £62,843, however my taxable pay for tax year 23/24 is £55,751. With BIK, it takes the total from all employments to £57,529. Therefore, based on the above, would I be entitled to some child benefit if the cut off is £60,000? I understand the threshold has changed for tax year 24/25.

Hi 

If your taxable income plus BIK is less than £60K for 23/24 then yes you will be entitled to some of the child benefit. 

Thank you

Thanks. I've just applied for child benefit. How do I get it backdated 3 months? And will the backdating of child benefit be captured under the new or old threshold?

Hi,

You can check your adjusted net income here.

Thank you.

What about the backdating of child benefit?

Hi,

You will need to contact the child benefit team to see if it can be back dated.
