Hi all.
I currently work 26 hours but i absolutely hate where i work. A position has come up at a better place but its only 16 hours. They both pay the same hourly rate but i'm wondering what difference this will make to my WTC's. The tax website works out your benefits from your past income, so i cant find the answer i need. Can anyone help?

Try filling in the calculator (Do I Qualify?) on the Tax credits website as if you were a new customer. This should give you an amount you are entitled to (you could always start again with your current earning if you want to do a direct comparison).
