Abolish the High-Income Child Benefit Charge

Background

Abolish the High-Income Child Benefit Charge so that Child Benefit remains a universal payment for all children, without any income-based repayment or restrictions. The policy should ensure equal support for all families regardless of income level.

Additional details

We believe the current system unfairly penalises working families who already pay high taxes. We are concerned it could create inequality between households with similar incomes and does not reflect rising living costs. We feel this policy is outdated and the threshold no longer reflects real financial pressures in the UK. Child Benefit should support all children equally, without income limits.
