The party will raises the threshold for the high income child benefit tax charge to £120,000 and base the payment on household income, rather than individuals. But rival parties question the government's 'scattergun' approach to policies.
The Conservatives will promise a tax cut for parents on Friday by raising the threshold for when families have to pay a levy on their child benefit. The current system means if either parents or a parent's partner earns more than £60,000, they begin paying the high income child benefit tax charge, and lose the benefit altogether when a salary hits £80,000.
Mr Hunt said: 'Raising the next generation is the most important job any of us can do so it's right that, as part of our clear plan to bring taxes down, we are reducing the burden on working families.' But a Labour spokesperson said: 'Rishi Sunak clearly wants to pretend the last 14 years didn't happen, because almost all his policies reverse decisions his own party has taken.
