The whole issue of Tax Credits are confusing to me.
No, the estimated figure has nothing to do with that tax year. Only the P60 info does from the previous year. (Unless you phone with a change of circumstances)
The estimated figure at renewal is only for use on next years calculations, I.e April 6th 2011 until time of your next renewal (May-June 11) It is so they get the award approximately right between these dates.
If they didn't do this then they wouldn't know how much to pay you in April of every year whilst all the renewals were being processed.0
