If by "tax office" you mean do you have to let the tax credit office know that you have started work then the answer is YES!
You must keep them informed of ALL changes of circumstances and this is one of the really important changes.
Give them a call and tell them that you have started work. They will adjust your award accordingly.The loopy one has gone :j0 -
i qualified myself for working tax
Tax Credits are based on household income, so although you say your husband gets working tax credits and you get child tax credits it is actually a joint award. You will probably not see any change in payment if they have calculated off last years earnings as there is a £10k disregard but you must tell them you have additional income0 -
By tax free they mean that it is low enough that you won't pay NI or Income Tax (unless you have another job and your income exceeds your tax free allowance).
However it is income so it must be declared for tax credits and other means tested benefits.0 -
