If your partner earns over a certain amount.
I don't believe there will be an extra charge if the primary caregiver claims it shouldn't have an impact
If you or your partner earns over the limit, you have to pay some or all of it back.
Oh wow! I didn't know that
@Natalya that's incorrect, if the claimant or their partner earns £60000 or more a year then they are responsible for the extra tax charge. OP: you should still claim as you get national insurance credits to count towards your state pension. You can opt out of receiving the payment when you fill in the claim if you don't want to do a tax self assessment
The closer your partner earns to 80K it's not worth it as once they earn over 80K you have to pay it all back so it's for little gain. But as someone else explained at least if you register and then opt out it helps towards national insurance. You have to register for self assessment tax return. We had to fill in the tax return a couple of years ago and it was really straight forward and then at the end they told you how much you owe and you just pay online. Just be mindful that they take into consideration any earnings for that tax year so it includes bonuses which is why we'll have to do it again at the end of this tax year.
What extra charge?
