Child Tax Credits 2011 and beyond

Hi,

I've looked at this online and am a bit confused. I earn roughly £27000 ish a year give or take depending on overtime. I have 2 kids, one of 5 and one of 2 with a third on the way and due on 30 Mar 2011. I don't see my salary increasing by more than £1000 over the next 2 years. My wife stays at home and looks after the kids. We get child benefit and have no other income whether by benefits or otherwise and sod all savings (used to buy a house).

I know what I get now, but am confused as to what I will get in 2011-2012 and 2012-onwards.

Any advise is much appreciated so that I can plan for the impending cuts!

Thanks

Neil

    Neil I doubt at this moment in time anyone can really answer your question, come 2012 onwards there may well be no such thing as tax credits.
    *SIGH*
