However, please be aware that not everyone is entitled to this specifically when either of the couple who is the parent of the child

• Earning over £50,000 but less than £60,000 means some of the child benefit claimed will have to be returned back through higher child benefit charge by registering and having a Self Assessment Tax Return being completed
• Earning over £60,000 means that no child benefit can be claimed at all so after the birth of the child if either of the couple is earning over £60,000 then no application should be made for this
• Also note that the income is the total Gross Income eg. Employment, self employment, dividends, rental profit and any other income taxable
