Re: child benefit government plan to implement changes
It's an emotive issue.
Stop calling it 'child benefit', make it an element of general low income earners tax credit/benefit.
Low earning households with children under age X are entitled to a higher rate of benefit.
Families who are on the higher rate of income tax don't qualify for ANY benefit.
There are always going to be 'cliff edges' where benefits disappear on an income threshold.
Perhaps it needs to be phased in, but the tax system in this country is far too complex.
