General question about WTC

fred_dee

Can someone please advise me? I've searched the forums but cannot find an answer.

My wife works part time for 15 hours per week, which I belive is 1 hour less then required to claim WTC.

However, she cleans and runs errands for her mother for 2 hours a week and gets paid £20.

Can she tell them that she does 17 hous per week paid work?

She can tell them anything she likes, why does she get paid for helping her MOTHER ?

So she has employment income working 15 hours per week and Self-Employed income of £20 per week. She would need to ensure she declares this untaxed income to her tax office so they can calculate the tax due on it.
