underpaid child tax credit.

I am a little confused.

I have just submitted our CTC declaration for the coming year. Salary for hubby last year 2010 was declared at £28,000 but this year 2011 his salary was £1500 less due to a lack of overtime. £26500 is our declaration for this coming year. My friend seems to think we will get £1500 back-dated but I don't think this can be right can it?

No this is not correct!

You can put in your figures at https://www.entitledto.co.uk and see exactly what your entitlement should have been - then compare it to your award notice for last year to see what the difference is.

If you only have 1 child - you might not have been underpaid at all and if you have 2 or more children (and no other income) you may have been underpaid by approx £600 but this depends on your circumstances.

That not correct for 1 child, should be less than that!
