I've Been claiming Child Benefit when earning over £50,000

Recommended Posts

To cut a long story short I’ve been earning over £50,000 The last 3 years but I never knew about the child benefit needing to stop.I’m not making excuses I just wasn’t wise to this.I realised this when a friend mentioned it and rang HMRC and I went straight online to fill my self assessment in but I’m worried sick.I really am.How much will I be likely to be fined for this.I’ve looked at some websites and it could be £6,000-£8,000 according to some.Has ANYBODY been in this situation?And how much am I likely to have to pay including any penalties.

My last tax year I earned £64000

Previous was £52000

And previous to that was £52000.

I was below £50000 before that.

PS I'm not trying to find a way out of this as I know I've messed up.
