How do i claim wtc?

    Your husband can ring and ask for the claim form for WTC as it will be a joint claim. The advisor will ask for an estimate of joint income for last tax year and the current tax year, so have this ready. They will then send you a claim form in the post if you qualify.

    Once the claim is set up, again your husband can ring in at annual renewal time or you can send the forms back.
