Thank you chrissyann, that seems like the definitive answer I was looking for! I will send it to the tax office which currently deals with my hubby's paye and hope that's right!
I feel reassures, anyway to know htat they will forward it, date stamped, if necessary!:T

Whoo! well done you. One of the lucky ones, why can't I have a post Christmas windfall like that? It must be more than the child tax allowance though to get all that. You must have overpaid as well I think!

Filled in form, posted it, within a week saw this in my account statement:
CHILD TAX CREDIT 1216.3

I should complain!:beer:

You should check what it's for, because it doesn't look like the CTC allowance/relief that everyone's talking about.

Hi we called our local tax office about this a few weeks ago and yesterday received a cheque for £7!!! however I am not sure if it is right and was hoping someone could shed some light on it for me, (have tried calling them but constantly busy) we claimed the tax credit in 2001/2 so got the allowance for both years, however we then had another child in feb 2003 which falls into the higher amount bracket, what i am wanting to know is should we have had an extra 529 for that year on top of what we had. On the breakdown letter we got with the cheque we definitely only got a £529 for that year not £1049, I hope this makes sense to someone!!!!
Thanks in advance!!

I phoned this number and was told they couldn't help that I would have to contact my own Tax Office for advice. I just wanted to know if I had been paid it.

I am fed up with the tax man they give out what they want. they diddle me every year and each time i have to go to the c.a.b. they are fantastic and ALWAYS SORT IT OUT sometimes i think i should not bother claiming its just so much hassle, the form filling is the easy part. I get £12 a week is it worth all that hassle ? :eek: my husband tax code has never changed it has always ended in L so i will try and claim from 03 fingers crossed .......
