I started this thread

And have discovered that anyone earning over £26k will lose all benefits inc. child benefit.

AIBU to think this has been massively underplayed in the media and many will not know this.

\it is 40k isnt it I dont understand it all tbh because a news programme said a couple earning 80 combined would still get it but a single parent who earned 40 wouldnt [confused

No it's £36K or £34K isn't it due to them reducing the higher tax level.Lots of people think it's for people on £44K but they're forgetting(which the Tories aren't in a hurry to correct) the plan to bring the band down.

I'd be glad if somebody proved me wrong believe me but I'm sure that was the plan.

Oh so the high earner tax band is coming down ? im really rubbish at this sort of thing , Blush Our cb will stop if thats the case ,

I think you need to add on the Personal Tax allowance to obtain Higher Tax range. So higher Tax band £34k ish plus Personal Allowance

If the tax band comes down they can keep their CB i'll be paying less tax and have nothing to do with the CB department, bonus
