    You can own a house to rent and still get tax credits :shocked:.

    I thought you couldn't get any benefits if you had over £50k in savings so why is it different if you have equity in a (2nd) home. How ridiculous!

    I read various threads and comment so I can assure you I have not 'followed' anyone anywhere. What's with you guys?

    If you keep all your equity in one home, should you get tax credits then? I have split mine but my income could be the same as yours.
