Am I entitled to WTC

Hi all, long shot I know.
I heard on radio station about WTC and thought I'd check it out.
I work about 6 months a year here in the UK then go abroad for 6 months. I don't earn over the amount stated in my 6 months here and wandered if I'm eligible for it.
Anyone know how I stand on this matter.
thankyou

  • Are you UK resident?

    I don't know about other qualifiers for tax credits, but one of them is that you have to be UK resident.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
