Working tax credit query

I have been getting working tax credits now for the past 2 months and wanted to ask anyone whether i have given the correct information regarding my earnings for 6 April 2009 to 5 April 2010 - the figures i gave from my p60 for that year only have earnings from my current employer which was from nov 2009 before that i was unemployed and was claiming job seekers allowance? is this ok i will need to speak to hmrc cos i dont want to get a bill in april 2010.
Any Advice Please?

  • You are supposed to dfeclare your earnings from all jobs from 6th April 2009 - 5th April 2010.

    Find out the info ASAP and contact Tax Credits otherwise you may be overpaid, if you've not already.
  • thats right but i would of thought that claiming job seekers wasnt a job as such. Which i did mention that to the advisor when i originally applied for tax credits but didnt really get a definate answer.
  • If it was just income based JSA you don't need to declare it. If you had contribution based JSA or other earnings you need to declare it.
