Not sure how it currently works or how they're planning to do this but might continuing to pay CB to all with appropriately aged children then clawing it back via the tax system (as they do with benefits in kind from employers) from higher rate tax payers be the easiest thing to do? The mechanisms for so doing are already there and fluctuations in earnings could be allowed for very efficiently.
