Parents involved in their own business can structure their remuneration so as not to lose Child Benefit and we would be happy to assist with remuneration planning.
The High Income Child Benefit Charge can also increase payments on account, so in some circumstances it may be better to stop receiving the benefit where the charge applies. Where it later transpires that the benefit could have been claimed without the charge applying, the Child Benefit Office will make backdated payments if a claim is made.
