    if you have been in 3 seperate claims at some point within the tax year then you will need to complete your renewal on all of those claims either by post or over the phone.

    Yes you are correct. It tells me the dates on each form and i did have 3 claims last year when i was in and out of work. I am now in a job and still on workng tax credit which is due to end soon.

    As i started my Job on March 22nd this year my first pay was not until end of April which got back dated from 22nd March. DO i need to work out how much i got paid between March 22nd and April 6th even that i got paid after the end of the tax year

    Sorry about these questions as its the first time i have done these forms.

    Plus i dont have my P60 from last year yet so making it harder for me to work out.

    As on each form its asking for the amount in all the tax year is it ok that i put the same on all 3 forms

    Yep, each form needs the same income as its the income over the full 365 days thats taken into account (then divided by the number of days each claim ran - you dont do this, TCO do). If you dont have your P60s, try calling the tax office - im not sure if they could tell you over the phone, but its better than guessing!

    Edit: "you dont do this, TCO do" - just to make sure i dont confuse things, you put the full years income down!

    Any taxable income and any taxable benefits. If its taxable, its income for TC purposes.

    if you cant get the exact figures they will allow you to complete the renewals with estimated figures. once you have all the income details you may find it easier to just give the details over the phone. if you do this just make sure you tell them to update all 3 claims and not just the most recent one.
