I currently receive maintenance payments through the CSA @ 25% of my husband's net income - 15%, as he has a child with OW.

If he goes on to have a second child, is there a further reduction?

Yes. 20% for 2 additional children under his roof (don't have to be his) and 25% for three or more.

As mumtoboys said if the non resident parent has children living in their household an allowance of 15/20/25% is is deducted from their income for 1/2/3+ children respectively.

However, the NRP's families' tax credits may then be added to their income before the usual child support calculation.

PART IV
TAX CREDITS

Working families' tax credit

11.— (2) Where working families' tax credit is payable and the amount which is payable has been calculated by reference to the weekly earnings of the non-resident parent and another person—

(a)where during the period which is used by the Inland Revenue to calculate his income the normal weekly earnings (as determined in accordance with Chapter II of Part IV of the Family Credit (General) Regulations 1987(6)) of that parent exceed those of the other person, the amount payable by way of working families' tax credit shall be treated as the income of that parent;

(b)where during that period the normal weekly earnings of that parent equal those of the other person, half of the amount payable by way of working families' tax credit shall be treated as the income of that parent; and

(c)where during that period the normal weekly earnings of that parent are less than those of that other person, the amount payable by way of working families' tax credit shall not be treated as the income of that parent.
