working tax whats my best option

Options
Hey please can somebody help i am currently on maternity leave and i am trying to find out what the best option is for me to return to wrk or not. based on last year earnings we do not qualify for working tax but if i dont go back to wrk this will reduce our joint income consideably does any1 know the threshold you can earn to recieve wtc

Comments

  • Think its around £17k joint earnings.
  • The threshold is around £17,392.

    If your income is going to be lower this year than it was last year you should calculate both our current year estimates and give these to TCO.

    They will then base your award on the current year estimated earnings instead of previous year actual income - but make sure not to underestimate your income or you could be overpaid.
