tax credits renewal

kez_d

hi everyone,
just filled in my renewal, and turns out last yrs earnings was about 2000 less then what was ment to be, hours etc were all the same though.
does this mean they will owe me some money?

Thanks

What year were your tax credits based on 2009-2010 or an estimate of 2010-2011?

As long as they are based on an estimate of 2010-2011 then yes you will be owed some money. x

Was your 2010/11 estimate higher than your 2009/10 actual? If it was then your payments won't have been based on the estimate, they'll have been based on your 2009/10 actual (unless the estimate was >25k higher). Due to the disregard.

In this case the estimate being 2k too high will make no difference, unless the actual was lower than your 2009/10 actual.

Also if you were just getting the family element it might make no difference anyway.
