How to claim child tax benefits

[Amphonw]

Hi, I wonder if any benefits myself and baby and claim without pay back after 6 or year of self assessment.As I am full time mum right now.Any advice would help.Thanks

Can you explain your situation a bit more? Are you looking for help with paying for childcare? What's your self employed income? What type of childcare do you use and how old is your baby? When do you return to work?

Hi, I’m not returning to work anytime soon as I leave my job.my baby is 15 months old.So I need to know any child benefits that I can get?

What country are you in? Do you have a partner and are they working?

That depends on household income @Amphonw

You need to give more detail

You've posted in the childcare section which implied you wanted help with childcare costs.

Without knowing your circumstances and your income nobody can Say as it all depends on your circumstances.

for instance if you have no recourse to public funds then no benefits. If you have over £16k in savings you won’t be eligible for Universal credit. If you have a partner that is a high earner you won’t be able to get child benefit.

We this check tax allowance and only child tax that I can apply. Since September last year I started to receive payments.However recently my husband received child tax assessment and turn out he has to repay back from Sep to March all the money I received!Then he has to reassessment again next year! So I just need to know how much income that Government allows to claim for child tax benefits without repay back?

If your partner is a hr tax payer(since he is above the cb threshold) then relatively little, other than universal childcare. Most benefits are assessed as a household.

It's a bit difficult to understand your posts but I think you're saying that you've claimed child benefit and found out your husband's income is too high to keep it so he's repaid it through self assessment.

There won't be any other benefits you can claim if your husband's income is that high.

Sounds like you’re wondering what benefits you can claim without having to repay.

If you’re in the category of paying back child benefit because your husband’s income is too high, then realistically, at this age, there isn’t anything you can claim

If your husband is earning over 60k then yes you will have to pay the high income child benefit charge on a sliding scale depending how much he earns. You should still claim it ass it will count for your NI contributions if you are not working. You won't be able to claim anything else.

If your partners adjusted net income ( so income after personal allowances, pension etc) is more than £60k, some child benefit will need to be paid back; if it's over £80k, all of it will.

Even if he does have to repay the cb you have already received, it won't be due until January 2026. The threshold is due to rise so he may find that it is not an issue going forwards.

Thanks all for replying.

You are still entitled to carry on claiming the child benefit even though your husband has to repay it. This is a vital safeguard for children where the money-earning parent is witholding funds from the other parent and thus depriving the children. If you are in this situation then contact Womens Aid. If your husband is supporting you properly then there is no extra available - your husband's income is sufficient that you don't need it. However in that case you should still stay registered for child benefit - you can opt not to receive the money but being registered means you will get credit for your childcare years when it comes to calculating your state pension in a few decades time

If he earns less than £60k he repays nothing. If he earns just a bit more than £60k it's worth him making extra pension contributions to make his adjusted salary less than £60k. If it's too much over £60k to do this then he has to pay back 1% of the benefits received for each £200 he earns over the £60k threshold so 100% if he earns £80,000 or more.
