David Gauke: The importance of claiming child benefit is made very clear in all HMRC's child benefit literature (such as for example, the child benefit claim form, and the claim notes), it is also covered extensively on the HMRC website, where the full guidance about the charge can be found at: www.hmrc.gov.uk/childbenefitcharge/ Parents and carers where either they or their partner have an income of...
Lord Sassoon: Child benefit is treated as being properly paid to the person who is entitled to it. Child benefit is paid to the person who has responsibility for the child or young person and who meets the conditions of entitlement. This can be by having the child or young person living with them, or by contributing to the cost of providing for them by an amount equivalent to the weekly rate of child...
Lord Henley: Parents who are not working can safeguard their State Pension by claiming Child Benefit. National insurance credits are automatically awarded to people claiming Child Benefit for a child under age 12. Since 2013, new parents and carers with household income above £50,000 are liable to pay a High Income Child Benefit Charge. Individuals can choose to receive Child Benefit and pay the charge...
Mel Stride: The Government has always urged families to claim Child Benefit to help protect their future right to the State Pension. Child Benefit claimants on a high income can then opt not to receive payments so they do not have to pay the High Income Child Benefit Charge. Families should still complete the Child Benefit claim form in order to qualify for National Insurance Credits and thus build...
Steve Webb: National insurance credits which protect a person's future entitlement to basic state pension and the state second pension will remain available for those claiming child benefit for a child under 12.

David Gauke: My hon. Friend and other hon. Members have made the case for a cap on the number of children receiving child benefit. I hear his point about an alternative policy, but we must ensure that the child benefit regime provides support for those who need it most. The policy for which we are legislating maintains that principle—those on the lowest income will retain support. The Government...
Elizabeth Truss: Child Benefit is payable where a claimant is responsible for a child under the age of 16, or a qualifying young person up to the age of 20 in full-time non-advanced education or approved training. A person is treated as being responsible for a child in any week where: (i) they have the child living with them in that week; or (ii) they are contributing to the upkeep of the child at a weekly...
Mr Don Concannon: We can get at those in work a little more easily than we can get at those not in work. We can use enforcement of judgment orders for people in work who have a wage or salary. We cannot use enforcement of judgment orders for those out of work, on supplementary benefit and so on. Again, for those in work we can use attachment of earnings or similar means. Therefore, those in work are more...
Malcolm Wicks: Child Benefit is a universal benefit paid as a contribution towards the cost of bringing up a child. It is normally awarded to the person with whom the child is living. Only one person can be entitled to Child Benefit for a particular child. Where the care of a child is shared between two parents, and the child spends time with each, both may claim the benefit. In some cases, the parties may...
.... 996, c. 528.] Mr. Field asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the number of organisations which gave evidence to his Department on the changes in the method of paying child benefit; and what was the number in favour and the number against the change to monthly payments. Mrs. Chalker: The proposal for changing the frequency of paying child benefit was set out in...
Mr Patrick Jenkin: I have already made it clear in my letter to the right hon. Member for Salford, West (Mr. Orme) that the Government do not feel it right to make an increase in child benefit this April. Now that child tax allowances have been wholly phased out, and there is a direct interaction between the amount of child benefit and the amount of the child dependency additions for short-term benefits and for...
David Gauke: In 2012-13 HMRC estimates that 1.1 million families will be affected by the new high income child benefit charge. Those affected may not all be parents as child benefit can be claimed by any adult who is responsible for a child. Child Benefit will continue to be paid to all families who claim and are entitled to it. The tax charge will only apply to people on an income over £50,000 who claim...

Mr David Ennals: I do not know whether the right hon. Gentleman is asking for a special child tax allowance or what proposal he is putting. He said the scheme is complicated. Presumably he is seeking to make it more complicated. Several hon. Members referred to FIS and the effect of child benefit upon FIS. There has obviously been some uncertainty about this. This was reflected in an article in New Society...
Elizabeth Truss: The High Income Child Benefit Charge came into force in January 2013 to help reduce the deficit and target support at those who need it most. It is a tax charge that applies to anyone with an adjusted net income over £50,000 who claims Child Benefit or whose partner claims it. The charge is tapered, increasing gradually for taxpayers with incomes between £50,000 and £60,000. For...
