CTC and CSA

sassygirl_2

Hi, Just need a bit of advice.

I am the NRP and i pay for my son who lives with his dad.
I pay through the CSA .

When they did the initial assesment i had to send of my CTC award to them so they could make the assessment. I was told to pay £5 per week, which i do by SO.

my question is: since that first assesment my CTC has gone up considerably as i am no longer working (iwas on Mat leave before)
Do i need to inform CSA that my CTC's have gone up and does that mean ill pay more CSA?

You don't have to notify them of the change, but you do if they ask you to. How much money do you take home now then?

Thanks. I get enough tax credits for 3 children including the baby bonus

it depends on how much you get, as income over £100 per week will be calculated at a higher rate than the flat rate of £5
