Thank you. Can I also ask when applying for child benefit what year you base your salary on. For example I plan to apply from June 2024 but do I base my salary on what it will be from when I start the child benefit or the year before ? Thanks

Hello I am an NHS worker (and highest earner in the family ) and my gross salary is £54,000 . I understand I therefore fit into the higher income child benefit charge, However my NHS pension contribution is approx £6364 every year which is deducted from my earnings as part of NHS pension scheme which is 11.6% of my salary amount. Is it valid to deduct this pension contribution when applying for child benefit? Thank you.
