Partners salary and child benefit- help.

[ohdearhave]

I live with my partner and my two children (not his biologically). We're not married yet. Partner's income is a private pension and he only knows what he gets paid post-tax ie the money that comes into his account every month. He doesn't get a slip of what it is pre tax but I think, given his income, he earns over 50k pre tax although I can't be sure without seeing it. How does this affect my child benefit? If he is earning too much, what do I do? We've been living together for about a year and three months now. He thinks that because we're not married and they're not his children, his income doesn't affect my child benefit. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Everyone gets an annual notification P60 of income, pension, and tax paid from their provider - it is a legal requirement. If your partner doesn't have one he can request it from HMRC.
(If you are self employed you must send a tax return stating your income or private pension income).
I suspect your partner doesn't want to show it to you......?

Thanks for your reply @seekingasimplelife Not self employed and I see his online account to know what he earns.

It’s irrelevant that you’re not married and they’re not his children. If he lives in your household, then it counts. If he does earn over £50k then he should be doing a self assessment form and he is then liable to repay some or all of the child benefit you receive.

You could ask them to stop paying you the CB but he’ll still need to do something about the time you e been living together already when you’ve been receiving it.
