  • Foreign Child Benefit

    I work in a European country and pay tax there. I am resident in the UK and complete a SA so I can pay any extra tax due here. Due to my income I have elected not to receive child benefit in the UK to avoid the high income child benefit charge. I am eligible to claim child benefit in the country of my employment. If I receive this foreign child benefit do I have to declare it on my UK tax return? Will child benefit paid by another government make me liable for the UK high income child benefit charge? Thanks in advance.
