Child benefit high income tax charge

Hello, Following the government’s announcement in April regarding the increased salary threshold, I opted back in to receive child benefit starting from 8th April 2024. Could you please confirm whether I need to submit a tax return by 31st January 2024 or by 31st January 2025? Thank you. Angela

As the tax year ends on 5th April 2024, I believe I'd need to submit a tax return in 2025, please confirm. Thanks

Hi AngelaV,
If you opted in to Child Benefit starting 08/04/2024, this would fall within the 24/25 tax year.
The deadline for filing this return online is the 31st of January 2026.
If you need to file a return for Self Assessment income received between 06/04/2023 and 05/04/2024 (the 23/24 tax year), the deadline for this is 31/01/2025. 
Thank you. 

 

Hello Could you please tell me how much I would need to pay back with 3 children with a £55,400 income for 22/23 ? I see multiple answers on forums Thanks

Hi mpbrooker,
This forum is for general queries only and is intended to help you self-serve therefore we are unable to provide specific advice tailored to individual circumstances. 
In the 2022/23 tax year the High Income Child Benefit Charge was applicable to anyone with an income over £50,000 in receipt of Child Benefit or with a partner in receipt of Child Benefit. 
The amount payable will be equivalent to some or all of the Child Benefit recieved with the tax charge increasing gradually for taxpayers with incomes between £50,000 and £60,000 and will be dependant on the Adjusted Net Income calculation for the individual concerned.
