2nd Job - What Information will Tax Credits Need?

MsShorty

Exactly as the title says. I have just managed to secure a second part time job, which will take my weekly hours from 27.5 hours per week to 42+ hours per week.

When I phone tax credits to advise them, obviously they will need to know name and address of employer, salary, hours and a new estimate for my total income for the tax year.

Will they require any other information? It is hard enough getting through to Tax Credits, without getting through and finding out I don't have all the information they need.

Information from anyone who has dealt with a similar situation, or any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

That plus the start date of the new job should be all they need. They might ask for the employer's PAYE reference but I doubt it (and you probably don't have it anyway till you get a payslip).

Thanks, zagfles.

I knew you would be along, eventually

When I phoned about my second job they only wanted to know the start date and the amount of hours. Sorry just edited that bit, they did ask the employers PAYE reference number. But not the hourly rate of pay.
