How do we pay this money back?

[childbenefitpayback]

Hi

Sorry I'm posting for traffic as I haven't a clue what to do with this and Google has confused me a bit.

Partner is for the first time this tax year likely to earn close to 60k, if not just over, which takes us over the threshold for child benefit. I earn 51k but pro rata'd to part time so it's more like 41k, meaning it's not me who's over the threshold but my partner. The child benefit however is received in my name for both children (eldest isn't my partner's child, youngest is).

From what I've read briefly online the person who earns over the threshold is the one who needs to submit the tax return. However he's not the one who receives the child benefit and one of the children isn't his. Does this matter? Also, what are the steps to declaring it and paying it back, please?

Thanks for any advice.

There are other allowable deductions as per this picture:

Im in the same bloody boat. And I dont know how we are going to pay it :( We dont save anything every month as our outgoings are high (mortgage and bills, raising food costs, nursery etc).

Google time to pay you can request to pay in instalments
