4. The baby element

Announcement

The baby element of tax credits will cease from 6 April 2011.
What does this mean?

Currently, families with a child under the age of one receive an additional element worth £545 when working out their maximum tax credits. This element is to be removed completely.
Who will it affect?

Families with a child under one will no longer have this element included from 6 April 2011. The details of how this will work are not yet known, but anyone who has a child born after 5 April 2010 may see a reduction in their tax credits from April 2011 rather than from the date their child’s first birthday.
