    Then the figures i have quoted are more or less, what you will get - so take the job, and you will get roughly £6500 CTC, but nothing else that i can think of, that you dont already get

    tbh, i think you have been underpaid CTC for this year - have you informed them that you only have SMP coming in?

    My tax credit award was based on my 39 weeks minus the 100 for every week on Smp and I got working and child tax credit up until my SMP stopped. I am now on the last three months unpaid maternity leave and only receive child tax credit.

  • Hi there,
    I came off maternity leave in November and return to work 1st feb as I have annual leave to use just now.

    I used to work full time but I am returning part time (17hrs).

    Right now I get £133.00 child tax cred & working tax credit a week and then £20 child benefit. So thats £153 a week and then my wages at the end of the month. I think you need to work between 16-30 hours to get the working tax credits, the more you work the less you get. I defo think your better off working.

    I am a single mother to but lucky enough to live with my mum so dont have to pay the full amount of rent ect.
    one step at a time....
