Recommendation 21

21 Paragraph: 88

Child benefit splitting for parents with shared care is currently impossible and needed.

Conclusion
Presently it is not possible for child benefit to be split between parents, even in cases of equally shared care. The Department should work with HMRC to enable parents with shared care to split child benefit between them.
