I would like to know what the cut off point is to say you earn to much to claim working tax credit. The reason i ask this is because i know 2 people that say the cannot claim working tax credit. The first person i work with and she has got a 6 year old child, now i don't know what she pays out but she is always moaning that she has got no money even when she takes home £150 a week and her husband takes home £500 a week. Now the second person has a 4 year old and a 10 year old, now her husband is self employed and she don't work now as the child care was costing more than she was earning. Now they cannot be that bad off as she is driving around in a 07 landrover.

For WTC it's something like 18k (assuming no disability), for CTC it's much higher

Eligibility for Tax Credits is dependent on the circumstances (age, how much they earn, how many hours they work, if they have a partner, if they have children etc...) of the person claiming.

If you have a household income of £58,000+ you are not entitled to any tax credits but upto that point it depends on circumstances.

Does anyone know the cut off point for claiming Working Tax Credit as a single person on a low wage. The reason im asking is one of my neighbours is really struggling.

For a non-disabled person it's £13,300.
