Department for Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 26 June 2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she plans to review the Government's decision to calculate child maintenance liabilities as a proportion of gross rather than net parental income; and if she will make a statement.
The paying parent’s gross income is taken directly from HM Revenue and Customs for the latest tax year available. Using the paying parent’s gross income allows calculations to be made quickly and accurately.
There are no plans to change the way the Child Maintenance Service calculates child maintenance liabilities.
