Just doing my forms . We estimated 9000 but only earnt 5128 due to other half coming out of work , what will happen ??

Leaving aside your estimation for the time being , what was your actual income figures from 2009/2010?

This is the figure which will be used at the min so if you could post this up it would be helpful.

2009-2010 was £2950

2010-2011 was £5128 but estimated to tax credits £9000

They want 2010-2011 figures to review for renewal . Just wondered as I estimated more than I actually earnt would I get an extra payment as been told by a friend we may .

It depends what your tax credits last year paid on estimated or previous earnings.

i would not have thought you will be due any money as 2010-2011 tax credits would have been based on 2009-2010 income as your 2010-2011 was less that £25000 more which was the disregard.

Hi
We Have 3 Kids, Im on Incapacity benefit and my wife had 2 part time jobs that worked out about 20 hours a week, and we got Child tax and working Tax credits.
Now my wife only has 1 job and basic hours are only 7 hours a week but with overtime this can go up to 17 hours per week.

My question is -Where do we stand with with the 16 hour min for working tax credit, will we lose it ?

Hi

Does anyone know the tax credit situation where a baby (2nd child) was born near the end of March 2011 and we only get the family element anyway? Would the 'baby addition' of £545 pa be paid pro-rota from their birth date until 6 April ie its abolition date?

Thanks
James

WTC is only payable if you are regularly working on average 16 hours per week.

If there is a week were you work below the 16 hours because you are a) off on sick leave or b) on a days paid holiday then you are still classed as "working" . However , overtime cannot be included in the calculation towards the 16 hours if it is not a regular thing which you do every week.

Hi Joe - you say that you have health issues. Are you in receipt of DLA?

If you ARE receiving DLA then I believe you only have to work 16 hours to be elegible for wtc.
