can u help with information on tax credit and child tax plzzzzzzz?

My wife had to cut down to 16hrs a week before we qualified.

As for how much you will get?

It is worked out by a computer, tax credits type your information in and it then tells them how much to pay you.

this is why so many people are being over paid.

We got £8,000 put into our bank last year, but i left it in there for the interest without touching it, and in april coming they WILL ask for it back or deduct it from this years credit.

but at least i've had a years interest on it.

Dont think you will get that much due to your partner working 18hrs, but phone them up and ask.

hope this is useful to you?

Call your local council and ask about housing benefits, anything to help take care of the rent/mortgage. Next, if you're over 25 you're entitled to working tax credits anyway, and once you've had a child you're automatically entitled to Child Benefit and Child Tax Credits. How much depends on how often you work. You should still be eligible for working tax credit as you're a parent; I know because I'm on it and under 25. That covers most anything I can think of. However there may be other loopholes, contact your local job center and make an appointment so they can go over anything else with you. Sometimes you get tax relief on your bank account in certain financial situations, usually for students and things. I've also heard that for families on very low income there are sometimes vouchers for food as well.

This will help you get in touch with your local tax office:

Good luck!

Yes you are entitled to working tax credits and child tax credits. Go on the inland revenue website and fill in a claims form as soon as possible. If you fill out a quick form online it will tell you how much you could be entitled to.

As long as one of you is working at least 16 hours per week you can claim.

I would assume that due to your circumstance you are entitled to tax credits, however if you want to be sure go down to your local council and they will be able to tell you not only if you are entitled but also to how much you are entitled to.

P.s as you may know the tax credit system has recently had many faults meaning people have had to give money back so its best to seek your councils help to ensure your not given more than you are entitled to.

You will most definately get Child Tax and some working tax. Not sure how much. Go onto Inland revenue website and apply online. Forms are pretty much straight forward, they will be quick to tell you if you are not entitled.

cheryl is correct, i would just add that on the inland revenue website is a calculator where u can put all yr info in and it will tell u what ur entitled to. it will be a small amount but thats cos it will be till 5th april but it will give u an idea what ur entitled to monthly. u certainly should be claiming so do it asap.

hi yes youd both be entitled to working tax credit cos your both under the threshold and you as the mother would also get child tax credit, prob amounting to over £140 per week, so is well worth applying for..hope this helps x

I'm really sure you'd qualify. Go to the Inland Revenue/Tax Credits website, you can see if you qualify there & then by filling in a few questions, you don't need to put your name down, It's easy, I did it the other day.

good luck!

Use this link and put some of your information in.

You will definatley be entitled to something.

You may be better phoning them on 0845 300 3900, as the information on the web will only give you the amounts to the end of this current financial year due to end in April 5th.

From 16hrs to 30hrs you will get full tax credits
