Re: Child Benefit Scrapped For Higher Rate Tax Payers From 2013

It does seem strange that joint income is not taken into consideration, as does the fact that there's no tapering. I'm guessing that the reason is that administration is a lot easier and therefore cheaper this way.

On balance, I think this is a good move though.
