The proposed changes to Child Benefit payments is patently unfair. Cuts are going to happen, and although we don't like it we have to accept it, but it has to be fair to everyone.
Families with two earners on just under £44,000 each - but collectively about £80,000 - would keep child benefit, those with one earner on more than £44,000 would lose it. This simply is not fair!
We, the undersigned, call on the Prime Minister and George Osborne to reverse the proposal to withdraw child benefit payments for households where one householder is a higher rate taxpayer, and base the calculation on the combined income of the household instead.
