Reform the High Income Child Benefit Charge for families

What the petition asks
Change the High Income Child Benefit Charge so it only applies to households with total earnings of over £100k, or where one parent earns over £80k.
We believe it is unfair that households where one parent earns £60k cannot benefit from child benefit but a household where both parents earn £30k receive the full benefit child benefit.
