From your link:

The Calculator has determined that you are not entitled to any benefit payments with your current cirumstances. If your circumstances change, you must inform the body that awards you any benefits and let them know. Otherwise, you may end up being overpaid.

I too would be suprised, I earn approx £430 a month, my OH's job seekers has stopped after 6 months as I earn too much for him to qualify and we still have to pay a % of council tax. I would thank your lucky stars that you both have work, earn decent salaries and can afford to feed your family

funkyali

thats exactly what i dont get I would concider my household to be an average house hold so why is it say I should not be paying council tax? Perhaps its purely based on the fact I get child tax credit.

I know I am really greatful that we both have work
