Child Benefit

[TheHoundsBitch]

DH has just got a new job that will take his salary to £56k plus 15% bonus, what do I do about CB? I have no earnings of my own and the CB is paid to me.

In you position I would keep claiming and let him repay the overpayment in his tax code. That does mean that he'd have to do a tax return though

Keep claiming it as you need to for your NI contributions

From that link it looks like we may need to pay some tax on last years CB, I didn't realise that there were any restrictions on CB until £60,000
IT also looks like you can opt out of payments but still stay 'in the system' for NI contributions. Not sure if I have understood it all correctly but will phone the helpline and find out! Seems like I need to find my NI number too, eek.
