Working Tax Credits for self employed

Charliecherry

Can anyone shed some light on the Holiday entitlement for working tax credits for those that are self employed eg;

If i work for 3 weeks at 30 hours but have the following week off for holiday,does that mean i loose the 30 hour element for that week or can i
assume 30 hours worked for my holiday week.......and therefore keep the 30 hour element.......hope i have explained that ok

thanks

I don't remember ever seeing guidance about holidays for the S/E but I wouldnt see a problem in having a similar entitlement to those who are PAYE. You can be on unpaid leave for up to 4 weeks without it causing an issue with WTC so I wouldn't see a problem in taking around 4 weeks off. I think it is expected that as you're S/E you would make arragements to still be earning an income during your holidays so you are just like a PAYE employee.
