A tribunal ruling may let parents and carers reclaim backdated charges from the tax office
HMRC is facing calls to refund thousands of people it chased for extra tax payments as a result of its controversial high income child benefit charge.
A tribunal ruled last week that the revenue could not pursue a man for £4,000 back taxes it claimed he owed because of his wife’s child benefit payments. It has led to calls for refunds to others who paid up in similar circumstances.
