Working TC backdated how far?

Hi

Im getting CTC and CB, used to be on income based JSA but just started self employment.

I phoned up TC helpline to tell them and start a claim for WTC.

They wanted my Unique tax reference number I dont have it.

I have ordered a new one to be sent to me through the post, but its taking ages. Must be the xmas post.

Will they backdate it until I signed off JSA?

    i would get back on the phone to them - they can update the change and you will call back with the UTR, if the advisor won't do it speak with a manager.

    max backdate is 3months, you wouldn't want to wait just incase your number takes a while.
