Working Tax credits for Self Employed

Thejagman

Hi Guys I am Thinking of becoming a self employed taxi driver. I have been on JSA for nearly six months and have to do something to keep my sanity.

The question is as a newly self employed person would I be able to claim WTC I am single with no kids or dependants,in rented accom and little savings. The Gov website is a bit vague, can any of you help please.

For WTC you need to be over 25 and working 30hours plus per week and earning no more than 17k per year

The income amount before entitlement does not exist is lower than £17K for a single person with no dependent children. I am not sure of the figure but I am sure it is lower than £12K per year.
