The moment you go beyond a basic check on whether there's a higher-rate taxpayer in the household, you're in to means-testing territory. Means testing processes do not save money, they cost money.

so why not build CB into the child tax credit system ?the structure (for better or worse
)is already there ,at least that way those who need it will get it
