Parents: Act now to preserve your child benefit entitlement?
![31st August shown on calendar with education background for Parents: Preserve your child benefit entitlement? blog post](https://whitingsllp.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/AdobeStock_351023832-Converted.jpg)
As today is GCSE results day, parents whose child is staying in education or training have only until 31 August to re-register with HMRC if they wish to continue receiving child benefit. Such re-registration will continue entitlement to receive this benefit until the child reaches 18.
If relevant to you, you should have already received a letter from HMRC which gives a QR code, to hopefully make re-registration as easy as possible.
If one parent’s income is over £50k a year, and you currently repay some or all of the child benefit through the tax system, you may instead prefer not to re-register.
For more information or advice, contact your local Whitings Office.
