The Child Tax Benefit is a financial support program provided by the government to help families with children. It offers monthly payments to eligible parents or guardians, aimed at reducing the cost of raising children. The amount received depends on the family's income and the number of children they have. This benefit is designed to assist families in meeting their children's basic needs, such as food, clothing, and education. It is available to families with children under a certain age, and the application process typically involves submitting income information to determine eligibility and payment amounts.
