Child Tax Credit Advice

garydeb

Hi

Wonder if anyone can offer a bit of advice for me please.

I currently work 40 hrs a week and my partner doesn't work at all. Now children both are at school (7 & 4), my partner is looking to return to work for 16-20 hrs a week.

Current joint earnings are my wage only which is approx £24000 a year, and we get child tax credit of £280 every 4 weeks. We don't get working TC due to my hours/wages.

What i'm trying to get an idea of, is if my partner worked 20 hours a week and eared an extra £7000 a year approx what affect it would have on the £280 we currently recive for Child Tax Credit.

I've tried ringing the helpline for Tax Credits twice now but couldn't even get an idea off them. They just said they couldn't advise until we amended my partners working details when she got the job.

Done a seach online as well, and can't really find anything specific that would allow me to work it out.

Any advice appreciated

Thanks
Gary

This will allow you to put in figures and see what you may be entitled to. You can change it as often as you like then!

My husband earns £17,000 pa and I earn £10,000 pa, we receive the basic child tax credit of £42 every 4 weeks.

I may be wrong, but I dont think it will effect you this year due to the £25k disregard, but will change your entitlement for next year.
