50?
Its £20.30 for the first qualifying child then £13.40 for each qualifying child after that.
It doesnt really make much difference to people with over 44 grand a year does it? Unless their budget counts on it.
There is the slight disparity that a family with a single earner earning £45 thousand wont get it. Yet a family with two earners earning up to £80+ thousand between them will.
But the line for qualifying had to be drawn somewhere. Maybe the govt should have said total family earnings over 44 grand.
