Family Tax Credit

Joint income is about £39950.

I know we'd have got about £10 a week for 2011/2012. Not sure if this changes for 2011/2012?

However I guess I will have to declare bonus too which pushes it above the 41k threshold in terms of earnings for 2011/2012

However, earnings for 2012/2013 will be reduced to about £33000 because of OH Maternity leave, and then working part time after having Baby,

So how can I claim credit for 2012/2013 when I have to post figures for the prevous tax year?

TIA

    As far as i know you put in your figures for the year before like usual but you also make them aware that there will be a significant drop in your 12-13 monies and they will take this into consideration

  • How many children do you have? If this is either your first or second child you wont qualify as your income is too high for next year (due to budget changes). Unless anyone in household has a disability or you use approved childcare
