I think she reached that conclusion a long time ago.... lol

Suppose I'd better practice shouting ENG - ER - LAND and prepare for the numbing disappointment.

What is the cut off point of income for Working Tax Credit?



The cut-off point of income for getting Working Tax Credit is different for different people. The point at which you stop getting it will depend on your circumstances.




For example, if:

• You are a couple without children and
• You are not disabled and
• You and/or your partner work at least 30 hours a week

the cut off point is £17,458.





The cut-off point will be higher if you have children, and it may be higher again if you use registered childcare. For example, if:

• You are a single parent working at least 16 hours
• You have two children and
• You use registered childcare of £250 a week

the cut-off point is £42,240.


If you, your partner, or your child gets Disability Living Allowance, this will also increase the cut-off point.

Remember that if you live with a partner, it is your joint income which will be used to decide your tax credits, and initially, the Revenue use income for the previous tax year.

OMG!!! I can't believe you're advising some of this!!!!

FGS - You don't get WTC unless you do 16 hours or OVER!! (Not under)

You don't get childcare assistance without WTC - which as another OP has already said; she WILL need for training days

You don't get prescriptions etc with WTC - only if you earn under £15000 and DON'T get WTC - same rules as school dinners

Her only benefit to working under 16 hours is less money - her hubby's work will take her over the limit anyway for prescriptions and school dinner and as hubby is working over 16 hours - will qualify for WTC anyway - all adds up to less dosh in the long run

Bloody hell i already said that i was simply going by the figures and calculations that the OP had given!

Like i said ive never claimed ctc or wtc as i dont have kids and dont ever work partime so am not an expert on it.


Take a chill pill you twerp
