What the petition asks
Under the current system it is TOTALLY unfair that a family where one person with an income of more than £50,000 will not be eligible for full child benefit, whilst another family with both parents working and earning £45,000 each (£90,000 in total) still receive FULL child benefit.
A single earner of £60k will be on a 40% tax bracket with no child benefit yet 2 parents can earn £43k each at 20% and get full child benefit!!
Child Benefit should be based on TOTAL household income.
This may not impact you now but may do so in the future so please sign and share and let’s get this totally unfair system changed!
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much”
Thank you :)
