If you have not used p60's or wage slips to work out your income, then I personally would go with the estimate that way if your wrong ect your covered. Yes it is 30 hours a week

johnden

thought it was 16 hours a week?

That is for parents or people with a disability, otherwise working tax credit is for people over 25 years old and working more than 30 hours a week.

Unless he can guarantee the level of business and the levels of expenses, he is in no place to be able to state that it is a true figure, is he?

You've worked out some projected income - of course its an estimate.
