  • RE: Calculating Net Adjusted Income for Child Benefit High Income Tax Charge

    We opted out of child benefit in 2023/24 for one of our two children to reduce the HICBC... We receive just 1x child: £102.40/4wks As the rules changed for 2024/25 from 60k to 80k with a 0.5% reduction per 1k... Based on earnings for 2024/25, the calculation is: The child benefit received is £2,212.60. Tax charge to pay: The estimated tax charge to pay is £885.00. So that's £2212.60 - £885 = £1327.60 benefit kept The child benefit currently received will be 102.40 x 13 payments=£1331.20 I assume in keeping just the one child benefit going, we will only owe 1331.20-1327.60=£3.60' I assume that's all correct?
