Do I pay tax on my child benefit?

[steelbutterfly]

I am self-employed, work PT and am not a high earner. I complete a self assessment each year, and have noticed it asks if I receive child benefit - I do (about £80 p/m I think). My income is low and much of it goes on childcare, would I still be taxed on this? Some years I haven't even gone over the £10,000 threshold for tax. Should I be putting some of the money from CB aside to pay back to HMRC? Seems a bit pointless and confusing to me! Any advice is appreciated.

I think the CB question if to catch people who earn above the limit for receiving Child Benifit.
I can't remember the numbers, but if someone earns between 40 and 50k, they can't claim all the child benifit, and over 50k, there is no child benifit?

No you won't be taxed if you and your partner earn less than 50k

CB is not taxable on anybody

but higher earners are not entitled to it so can have it recovered through their tax return

Okay. that answers that! Thank you all. 🙂
