  • The form you need is 11CTC, this can be found on the HRMC website. Not sure if I can post links on here, but here it is.

    I have today sent my form off as when I phoned they were experiencing high levels of calls!

    I certainly think it is worth a go, the form isn't that complicated particularly if you're a single parent, just one page.
  • hi, can anyone help me where to send this form to once filled in, should it be your local tax office, or the one where you wages were done at the time , or the child tax headoffice?? im a bit stuck sorry to be a pain x

    I was going to ask the same question, where do you send the forms?
  • Tax office that deal with your current or most recent employer.

    Not always the office that's closest to where you live.

    Hi Jambush. I think you have been mis-informed. It is the Child Tax Credit which is means tested, not the Childrens Tax Allowance.

    My understanding is that it is not means tested (in the sense that you do not have to show your rent/mortgage etc to calculate your disposable income) but it is reduced if your income is over the higher-rate tax threshold (source http://www.b4bargain.co.uk/index.php?DocRef=cta) Can anyone confirm this?
