@rmag1 , while I recognize the position taken by my colleague @ThomasM125 , my opinion on child benefit in the UK is different -- this benefit ( as I understand from my time in the UK during the mid eighties ) is a general benefit to all mothers with little children. it is not based on any active or passive income. Thus I do not see this as income for the family -- you did not do anything ( active ) or invest ( passive ) to get this -- you get this because you have a child. All resident of the UK get this benefit. Not Taxable income.
That is my position.
Is there more I can do for you ?
