This Bill would force the Chancellor to report to Parliament on the likely effects of two ideas: increasing the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) threshold in line with inflation, and basing that threshold on household income rather than individual income. It does not itself change the policy, but requires a formal government analysis for Parliament to consider.
The Bill is at its first reading in the House of Commons and has not yet progressed to further stages.
